Management Commentary

Herbalife reported third quarter 2025 net sales of $1.3 billion, up 2.7% year-over-year, including 50 basis points of foreign currency headwinds. On a constant currency basis², net sales were up 3.2% year-over-year for the quarter.

Gross profit margin was 77.7% in the third quarter, compared to 78.3% in the prior year period. On a year-over-year and approximate basis, pricing benefits of 80 basis points were more than offset primarily by foreign currency headwinds of 90 basis points, 30 basis points of input cost inflation, driven mainly by higher raw material costs, and 10 basis points each from increased inventory write-downs and unfavorable sales mix.

For the quarter, net income attributable to Herbalife was $43.2 million, with net income margin of 3.4% and adjusted net income¹ of $51.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA¹ of $163.0 million includes approximately $12 million of foreign currency headwinds year-over-year, with adjusted EBITDA¹ margin of 12.8%, down 60 basis points versus the third quarter of 2024. Diluted EPS was $0.42, with adjusted diluted EPS¹ of $0.50, which includes a $0.08 year-over-year foreign currency headwind.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $138.8 million and $235.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. Capital expenditures were $20.8 million and $61.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and capitalized software as a service (“SaaS”) implementation costs were approximately $7 million and $16 million, respectively. The Company expects to incur total capitalized SaaS implementation costs of approximately $25 million to $30 million for full year 2025, which are not included in capital expenditures.

As previously disclosed, and in accordance with the terms of the Pro2col Health LLC asset purchase agreement entered into in April 2025, a contingency payment of $2.0 million was paid during the third quarter as a result of the release of the beta version of the Pro2col technology platform in July 2025.

In September 2025, the Company repaid the remaining outstanding principal balance of $147.3 million on its 7.875% Senior Notes due 2025 (“2025 Notes”) at maturity. The aggregate payment at maturity, including accrued and unpaid interest, was $153.1 million. As of September 30, 2025, $25.0 million was outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

“The third quarter demonstrated clear progress, with a return to growth in both North America and on a worldwide basis,” said Chief Financial Officer John DeSimone. “We also further reduced our total leverage ratio to 2.8x, underscoring our continued capital discipline and outperformance against our capital structure commitments.”

For the third quarter, three of the Company’s five regions reported year-over-year growth in the number of new distributors joining Herbalife, led by North America, with a 17% increase. While the number of new distributors joining worldwide in the third quarter declined 2% year-over-year, they increased 11% on a two-year stack basis.

This growth reflects the continued momentum the Company is building through strategic distributor engagement, training and product innovation. Supporting this momentum is the Diamond Development Mastermind Program, an ongoing training and accountability program that expanded to India in August, which also marked the program’s first anniversary. Today, approximately 10,700 distributors and service providers worldwide are committed to the program, reporting increased confidence in applying core business and leadership principles and strategies. The program will expand to include additional markets in 2026.

This momentum is further reflected in the strong attendance at the Company’s September Extravaganza training events, where approximately 57,200 attendees gathered in Tashkent, Mexico City, Delhi, Bengaluru and Budapest. In total, Extravaganza events in 2025 attracted nearly 142,000 attendees, a 5% increase compared to 2024.

During the EMEA Extravaganza in Budapest, the Company launched HL/Skin, a new skincare line that combines advanced South Korean science with K-beauty-formulated ingredients. The HL/Skin range builds on Herbalife’s science-backed approach to product development, with the efficacy of each product supported by clinical studies. Currently available in select European markets, HL/Skin is also supported by an AI-powered assessment tool that delivers a personalized facial analysis to customers in less than 60 seconds, while simultaneously providing product recommendations directly to distributor dashboards to enhance customer engagement and support sales.

Recent Developments

On October 30, the Company expanded beta access to the Pro2col app to retail customers in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico of distributors in the beta group. Formed following the app’s initial beta release in July 2025, the beta group has scaled to include approximately 7,900 distributors.

Concurrently, the Company introduced new features within the Pro2col digital experience, including a coach dashboard, customizable sales funnels and a website builder to support existing distributor daily methods of operations, as well as multiple app enhancements. Together, these developments represent significant advancements toward the planned commercial release of Pro2col Beta 2.0 to all customers and distributors in the U.S. and Puerto Rico by the end of 2025. The Company plans to expand the Pro2col digital experience to additional global markets beginning in 2026.

“Across our business, product innovation, digital evolution and disciplined execution are driving momentum and delivering results,” said Chief Executive Officer Stephan Gratziani. “Through our transformation, we are equipping and supporting our distributors to grow stronger businesses—supporting progress today and building a clear path to sustainable growth and long-term shareholder value.”

Results of Operations

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 are calculated as net income attributable to Herbalife excluding 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 sale of property, gains or losses from extinguishment of debt and certain tax expenses and benefits, as further detailed in the reconciliations below. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company recognized $147.3 million of non-cash net deferred income tax benefits related to changes the Company initiated to its corporate entity structure, including intra-entity transfers of intellectual property to one of its European subsidiaries, which was excluded from adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS. A portion of these non-cash net deferred income tax benefits will reduce cash taxes paid and result in net deferred tax expense recognized in future periods. Beginning in the first quarter of 2025 and in future periods, the related net deferred tax effects will be excluded from adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Credit agreement EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for items permitted under the Company’s 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 attributable to Herbalife or diluted EPS calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA or constant currency adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income attributable to Herbalife, 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, the Company cannot reconcile these non-GAAP projections without unreasonable efforts. The Company expects the variability of these items, which are necessary for a presentation of the reconciliation, could have a significant impact on the Company’s reported U.S. GAAP financial results.

Currency Fluctuation

The Company’s international operations have provided and will continue to provide a significant portion of its 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 the Company’s 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, the Company also compares 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 the Company’s 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. The Company believes presenting net sales in local currency is useful to investors because it allows a meaningful comparison of net sales of its foreign operations from period to period. In addition, the Company presents adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, and is calculated by translating the current period adjusted EBITDA into U.S. dollars using the same foreign currency exchange rates that were used to translate such measure for the previous comparable period and adjusting for other FX related impacts. However, net sales in local currency and adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net sales and adjusted EBITDA, respectively, in U.S. dollar measures that reflect current period exchange rates, or to net sales and net income attributable to Herbalife calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
