LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE: HLF), a premier health and wellness company, community and platform, today announced preliminary first quarter 2026 results. The Company expects:

• Net sales growth of 7.5% to 8.0% year-over-year, exceeding the high end of previously issued first quarter guidance
• Net sales growth on a constant currency basis² of 5.0% to 5.5% year-over-year, above the high end of previously issued first quarter guidance; and
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ on a reported basis at or above the high end of previously issued first quarter guidance

First quarter 2026 guidance for each metric was previously issued on February 18, 2026.

The Company’s first quarter net sales outperformance was driven by Asia Pacific, led by estimated record quarterly net sales in India. Preliminary results indicate Asia Pacific, Latin America and Mexico each delivered year-over-year net sales growth on both a reported and constant currency basis². EMEA is expected to report a slight year-over-year net sales increase on a reported basis, driven by foreign exchange tailwinds, while declining on a constant currency basis². North America and China are each expected to report year-over-year net sales declines on both a reported and constant currency basis². In North America, net sales were negatively impacted by a combination of unusually severe weather conditions in January and February and elevated levels of shipments in transit at quarter-end with the related revenue recognition deferred to the subsequent quarter. Excluding these factors, North America net sales would have been slightly up year-over-year on both a reported and constant currency basis².

Herbalife also provided an update on its previously announced plans to refinance its senior secured debt. The Company is now targeting $1,450 million of secured financing, which is expected to include a $425 million revolving credit facility, a $225 million Term Loan A and $800 million of other secured debt. The refinancing is expected to extend the maturity profile of the Company’s senior secured debt.

“Our preliminary first quarter 2026 results reflect net sales growth above the high end of our prior guidance range,” said Chief Financial Officer John DeSimone. “We remain committed to completing a successful refinancing that extends our maturity profile and aligns with our pricing objectives.”

The preliminary estimated select unaudited financial information described above are estimates derived from our internal financial records, constitute forward-looking statements and are based on the information available to the Company as of the date of this release and are subject to the completion of the Company’s customary financial and other closing procedures. Accordingly, the Company’s final reported results for the first quarter of 2026 may differ materially from these preliminary expectations. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include the discovery of new or additional information that impacts accounting estimates, management’s judgment or valuation methodologies underlying these estimated results, and the preparation of its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. This preliminary estimated financial information should not be viewed as a substitute for our full interim financial statements and is not necessarily indicative of any future period or performance, and accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on this preliminary estimated financial information.

Herbalife will release its first quarter 2026 financial results after the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday, May 6, 2026 and will host an audio webcast and conference call the same day at 5:30 p.m. ET (2:30 p.m. PT) to discuss the Company’s financial results.

The terms of the proposed refinancing transactions will be disclosed upon any completion of the transactions. The proposed refinancings will be subject to customary closing conditions and there can be no assurance that the allocations among the debt instruments will not change, or that any of the refinancings will occur successfully, or at all.

Supplemental Information

SCHEDULE A: NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Adjusted EBITDA

The Company has included in this release adjusted EBITDA, a performance measure that the Securities and Exchange Commission defines as a “non-GAAP financial measure.” Adjusted EBITDA is 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.

Management believes that such non-GAAP performance measure, 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 it facilitates 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 definition and calculation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measure used by other companies because other companies may not calculate it in the same manner as the Company does and should not be viewed in isolation from, nor as an alternative to, net income attributable to Herbalife calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

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. 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 net sales calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
