“Our first quarter revenue came in at the mid-point of our guidance, negatively impacted more than anticipated by foreign currency headwinds, while our cost management efforts helped us post earnings per share in the upper half of our guide,” said Ryan Napierski, Nu Skin president and CEO. “We are continuing our business transformation efforts and making progress in developing our integrated beauty, wellness and lifestyle ecosystem. During the quarter, we again drove strong gains in our Rhyz business, growing nearly 60% year-over-year. In our Nu Skin core business, the macro-economic environment impacted affiliate and customer growth around the globe, but we are encouraged by the performance of our ageLOC WellSpa iO, RenuSpa iO and TRMe launches.
 
“At our annual top sales leader event, we aligned around the upcoming preview of our new MYND360 cognitive health line and saw healthy energy for the opening of India next year. We also introduced some new early affiliate rewards and top leader incentives to help drive customer acquisition and business growth. While we continue to navigate the challenges of a business transformation amid these disruptive times, we continue to evolve our strategy for both our Nu Skin and Rhyz businesses and remain focused on generating long-term growth and returning value to shareholders.”

"We continue to implement strategic measures to refine our cost structure in line with business performance and strengthen our financial outlook," said James D. Thomas, chief financial officer. "The additional efficiencies garnered from our cost-saving initiatives underscore our dedication to boosting productivity. We remain vigilant in scrutinizing all facets of our operations and prioritizing initiatives to drive revenue, amplify margins and secure our financial position. Although negative foreign currency impacted our results more than initially expected and will likely continue to do so, we are keeping our 2024 guidance numbers intact. For the second quarter, we project sequential improvement with revenue of $420 to $455 million, assuming an increased foreign currency impact, with reported earnings per share of $0.01 to $0.10 or $0.10 to $0.20 excluding restructuring charges.”

The forward-looking statements and related assumptions involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from any forward-looking statements or views expressed herein. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:

any failure of current or planned initiatives or products to generate interest among the company’s sales force and customers and generate sponsoring and selling activities on a sustained basis;

risk that direct selling laws and regulations in any of the company’s markets, including the United States and Mainland China, may be modified, interpreted or enforced in a manner that results in negative changes to the company’s business model or negatively impacts its revenue, sales force or business, including through the interruption of sales activities, loss of licenses, increased scrutiny of sales force actions, imposition of fines, or any other adverse actions or events;

economic conditions and events globally;

competitive pressures in the company’s markets;

risk that epidemics, including COVID-19 and related disruptions, or other crises could negatively impact our business;

adverse publicity related to the company’s business, products, industry or any legal actions or complaints by the company’s sales force or others;

political, legal, tax and regulatory uncertainties, including trade policies, associated with operating in Mainland China and other international markets;

uncertainty regarding meeting restrictions and other government scrutiny in Mainland China, as well as negative media and consumer sentiment in Mainland China on our business operations and results;

risk of foreign-currency fluctuations and the currency translation impact on the company’s business associated with these fluctuations;

uncertainties regarding the future financial performance of the businesses the company has acquired;

risks related to accurately predicting, delivering or maintaining sufficient quantities of products to support planned initiatives or launch strategies, and increased risk of inventory write-offs if the company over-forecasts demand for a product or changes its planned initiatives or launch strategies;

regulatory risks associated with the company’s products, which could require the company to modify its claims or inhibit its ability to import or continue selling a product in a market if the product is determined to be a medical device or if the company is unable to register the product in a timely manner under applicable regulatory requirements; and

the company’s future tax-planning initiatives, any prospective or retrospective increases in duties or tariffs on the company’s products imported into the company’s markets outside of the United States, and any adverse results of tax audits or unfavorable changes to tax laws in the company’s various markets.
 
The company’s financial performance and the forward-looking statements contained herein are further qualified by a detailed discussion of associated risks set forth in the documents filed by the company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements set forth the company’s beliefs as of the date that such information was first provided, and the company assumes no duty to update the forward-looking statements contained in this release to reflect any change except as required by law.
 
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.

Earnings per share, operating margin and income tax rate, each excluding restructuring and/or impairment charges, also are non-GAAP financial measures. Restructuring and impairment charges are not part of the ongoing operations of our underlying business. The company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors, lenders and analysts because removing the impact of these charges facilitates period-to-period comparisons of the company’s performance. Please see the reconciliations of these items to our earnings per share, operating margin and income tax rate calculated under GAAP, below.

The March 31, 2024, number is affected by a change in eligibility requirements for receiving certain rewards within our compensation structure. We plan to implement these changes in additional segments over the next several quarters. We estimate the change in eligibility requirements resulted in a reduction of approximately 14,000; 5,000; 13,000 and 3,000 for Japan, Europe & Africa, South Korea and Hong Kong/Taiwan, respectively.


“Customers” are persons who have purchased directly from the Company during the three months ended as of the date indicated. Our Customer numbers include members of our sales force who made such a purchase, including Paid Affiliates and those who qualify as Sales Leaders, but they do not include consumers who purchase directly from members of our sales force.


“Paid Affiliates” are any Brand Affiliates, as well as members of our sales force in Mainland China, who earned sales compensation during the three-month period. In all of our markets besides Mainland China, we refer to members of our independent sales force as “Brand Affiliates” because their primary role is to promote our brand and products through their personal social networks.


“Sales Leaders” are the three-month average of our monthly Brand Affiliates, as well as sales employees and independent marketers in Mainland China, who achieved certain qualification requirements as of the end of each month of the quarter.
