HERBALIFE LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Organization

Herbalife Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability, was incorporated on April 4, 2002. Herbalife Ltd. (and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Herbalife”) is a global nutrition company that sells weight management; targeted nutrition; energy, sports, and fitness; and outer nutrition products to and through a network of independent members, or Members. In China, the Company sells its products to and through independent service providers and sales representatives to customers and preferred customers, as well as through Company-operated retail platforms when necessary. The Company sells its products in five geographic regions: North America; Latin America, which consists of Mexico and South and Central America; EMEA, which consists of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa; Asia Pacific (excluding China); and China. See Note 6, Segment Information, for further information regarding geographic regions.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information of the Company has been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s, or SEC, Regulation S-X. Accordingly, as permitted by Article 10 of the SEC’s Regulation S-X, it does not include all of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., or U.S. GAAP, for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 was derived from the audited financial statements at that date and does not include all the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP, as permitted by Article 10 of the SEC’s Regulation S-X. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 include Herbalife Ltd. and all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial information contains all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, or the 2023 10-K. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.

Recently Adopted Pronouncements

In March 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842) - Common Control Arrangements. This ASU addresses issues related to accounting for leases under common control arrangements. The standard includes an amendment to Topic 842 for all entities with leasehold improvements in common control arrangements to amortize leasehold improvements that it owns over the improvements’ useful life to the common control group if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this update were effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance during the first quarter of 2024 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-05, Business Combinations – Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement. This ASU addresses the accounting for contributions made to a joint venture, upon formation, in a joint venture’s separate financial statements. The objectives of the amendments are to (1) provide decision-useful information to investors and other allocators of capital in a joint venture’s financial statements and (2) reduce diversity in practice. The standard will require that a joint venture apply a new basis of accounting upon formation. By applying a new basis of accounting, a joint venture, upon formation, will recognize and initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value (with exceptions to fair value measurement that are consistent with the business combinations guidance). In addition, the update on the standard requires certain disclosures enabling financial statement users to understand the nature and financial effect of the joint venture formation in the period in which the formation date occurs. The amendments in this update do not amend the definition of a joint venture (or a corporate joint venture), the accounting by an equity method investor for its investment in a joint venture, or the accounting by a joint venture for contributions received after its formation. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted in any interim or annual period in which financial statements have not yet been issued (or made available for issuance), either prospectively or retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

7


 

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative, which amends the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of topics in the accounting standards codification (the “ASC”) in order to conform with certain SEC amendments in Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC removes that related disclosure from its rules. However, if by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the related disclosure from its regulations, the amendments will be removed from the ASC and not become effective. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which amended disclosure requirements for segment reporting. The amendments in this ASU improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, amendments to enhance interim disclosure requirements and introduce additional details about the chief operating decision maker. These changes address certain investor concerns that disclosures over reportable segment expenses were limited. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Tax (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amended disclosure requirements for income taxes. The primary changes from this update relate to improvements over income tax disclosures related to the rate reconciliation, income taxes paid and other disclosures. These changes help investors better 1) understand on an entity’s’ exposure to potential changes in jurisdictional tax legislation and the ensuing risks and opportunities, (2) assess income tax information that affects cash flow forecasts and capital allocation decisions, and (3) identify potential opportunities to increase future cash flows. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-02, Codification Improvements – Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements. This ASU removes various references to concepts statements from the ASC. The goal of the amendments is to simplify the ASC and distinguish between non-authoritative and authoritative guidance (since, unlike the ASC, the concepts statements are non-authoritative). The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s net sales consist of product sales. In general, the Company’s performance obligation is to transfer its products to its Members. The Company generally recognizes revenue when product is delivered to its Members. For the majority of China independent service providers and for third-party importers utilized in certain other countries where sales historically have not been material, the Company recognizes revenue based on the Company’s estimate of when the service provider or third-party importer sells the products because the Company is deemed to be the principal party of these product sales due to the additional selling and operating requirements relating to pricing of products, conducting business with physical locations, and other selling and marketing activities required of the service providers and third-party importers. The Company recognizes revenue for certain China independent service providers upon delivery as such Members have pricing discretion and increased fulfillment responsibilities and accordingly were determined to be the Company’s customers for accounting purposes.

The Company’s Members, excluding its China independent service providers, may receive distributor allowances, which are comprised of discounts, rebates, and wholesale commission payments from the Company. Distributor allowances resulting from the Company’s sales of its products to its Members are recorded against net sales because the distributor allowances represent discounts from the suggested retail price.

The Company compensates its sales leader Members with royalty overrides for services rendered relating to the development, retention, and management of their sales organizations. Royalty overrides are payable based on achieved sales volume. Royalty overrides are classified as an operating expense reflecting the services provided to the Company. The Company compensates its China independent service providers and third-party importers utilized in certain other countries for providing marketing, selling, and customer support services. For China and third-party importer sales transactions, as the Company is the principal party for the majority of these product sales as described above, the majority of service fees payable to China independent service providers and the compensation received by third-party importers for the services they provide, which represents the discount provided to them, are recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses within the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income. In addition, for those certain China independent service providers who are deemed to be the Company’s customers for accounting purposes as described above, a portion of the service fees payable to these Members will be classified as a reduction of net sales as opposed to the entire service fee being recognized within selling, general, and administrative expenses.

8


 

The Company recognizes revenue when it delivers products to its United States Members; distributor allowances, inclusive of discounts and wholesale commissions, are recorded as a reduction to net sales; and royalty overrides are classified as an operating expense.

Shipping and handling services relating to product sales are recognized as fulfillment activities on the Company’s performance obligation to transfer products and are therefore recorded within net sales as part of product sales and are not considered as separate revenues. Shipping and handling costs paid by the Company are included in cost of sales.

The Company presents sales taxes collected from customers on a net basis.

The Company generally receives the net sales price in cash or through credit card payments at the point of sale. Accounts receivable consist principally of credit card receivables arising from the sale of products to the Company’s Members, and its collection risk is reduced due to geographic dispersion. Credit card receivables were $64.7 million and $61.5 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Substantially all credit card receivables were current as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company recorded bad-debt expense related to allowances for the Company’s receivables of zero and less than $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $1.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the majority of the Company’s total outstanding accounts receivable were current.

The Company records advance sales deposits when payment is received but revenue has not yet been recognized. In the majority of the Company’s markets, advance sales deposits are generally recorded to income when the product is delivered to its Members. Additionally, advance sales deposits also include deferred revenues due to the timing of revenue recognition for products sold through China independent service providers. The estimated deferral period for advance sales deposits is generally within one week. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized substantially all of the revenues that were included within advance sales deposits as of December 31, 2023 and any remaining such balance was not material as of June 30, 2024. Advance sales deposits are included in other current liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 14, Detail of Certain Balance Sheet Accounts, for further information.

In general, if a Member returns product to the Company on a timely basis, they may obtain replacement product from the Company for such returned products. In addition, in general the Company maintains a buyback program pursuant to which it will repurchase products sold to a Member who has decided to leave the business. Allowances for product returns, primarily in connection with the Company’s buyback program, are provided at the time the sale is recorded. This accrual is based upon historical return rates for each country and the relevant return pattern, which reflects anticipated returns to be received over a period of up to 12 months following the original sale. Allowances for product returns were $1.9 million and $1.9 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The Company’s products are grouped in five product categories: weight management; targeted nutrition; energy, sports, and fitness; outer nutrition; and literature and promotional items. However, the effect of economic factors on the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue recognition and cash flows are similar among all five product categories. The Company defines its operating segments through five geographic regions. The effect of economic factors on the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue recognition and cash flows are similar among the geographic regions within the Company’s Primary Reporting Segment. See Note 6, Segment Information, for further information on the Company’s reportable segments and the Company’s presentation of disaggregated revenue by reportable segment.

Distributor Compensation – U.S.

In the U.S., distributor compensation, including Royalty overrides, is capped if the Company does not meet an annual requirement as described in the consent order discussed in more detail in Note 5, Contingencies. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates if this requirement will be achieved by year end to determine if a cap on distributor compensation will be required, and then determines the appropriate amount of distributor compensation expense, which may vary in each reporting period. As of June 30, 2024, the Company believes that the cap to distributor compensation will not be applicable for the current year.

Other Operating Income

To encourage local investment and operations, governments in various China provinces conduct grant programs. The Company applied for and received several such grants in China. Government grants are recorded into income when a legal right to the grant exists, there is a reasonable assurance that the grant proceeds will be received, and the substantive conditions under which the grants were provided have been met. Generally, these substantive conditions are the Company maintaining operations and paying certain taxes in the relevant province and obtaining government approval by completing an annual application process. The Company believes the continuing obligation with respect to the funds is a general requirement that they are used only for its business in China. The Company did not recognize any government grant income related to its regional headquarters and distribution centers within China during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company recognized government grant income related to its regional headquarters and distribution centers within China of approximately $1.2 million and $10.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, in other operating income within its condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company intends to continue applying for government grants in China when programs are available; however, there is no assurance that the Company will receive grants in future periods.

Other Expense, Net

During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized a $10.5 million loss on the extinguishment of the 2018 Credit Facility (as defined below) and the partial redemption of the 2025 Notes (See Note 4, Long-Term Debt) in other expense, net within its condensed consolidated statements of income.

Use of Estimates

The Company continues to operate in an uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical environment caused by high inflation, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, and other factors. The Company is closely monitoring the evolving macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions to assess potential impacts on its business. Due to the significant uncertainty created by these circumstances, actual results could differ from Management's estimates and judgments. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current macroeconomic environment, which estimates and assumptions the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in estimates resulting from continuing changes in the macroeconomic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On August 16, 2018, the Company entered into a $1.25 billion senior secured credit facility, or the 2018 Credit Facility, consisting of a $250.0 million term loan A, or the 2018 Term Loan A, a $750.0 million term loan B, or the 2018 Term Loan B, and a $250.0 million revolving credit facility, or the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, with a syndicate of financial institutions as lenders.

Subsequently, the 2018 Credit Facility was amended in a series of amendments that, as of March 31, 2024, among other things, increased the borrowing capacity of the 2018 Term Loan A to a total of $286.2 million and the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility to a total of $330.0 million and establishing the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, for interest rate purposes under the 2018 Credit Facility. Borrowings utilizing SOFR under both the 2018 Term Loan A and 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, bore interest at, depending on the Company’s total leverage ratio, either the Adjusted Term SOFR, which is the rate per annum equal to Term SOFR plus a rate adjustment based on interest periods of one month, three months, six months and twelve months tenors equaling to approximately 0.11%, 0.26%, 0.43% and 0.72%, respectively, plus a margin of between 1.75% and 2.25%, or the base rate, which represented the highest of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, one-month Adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.00%, and the prime rate quoted by The Wall Street Journal, plus a margin of between 0.75% and 1.25%. Borrowings utilizing SOFR under the 2018 Term Loan B bore interest at either, the Adjusted Term SOFR plus a margin of 2.50%, or the base rate plus a margin of 1.50%. The Adjusted Term SOFR was subject to a floor of 0.00% and the base rate was subject to a floor of 1.00%. The Company paid commitment fees on the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility of, depending on the Company’s total leverage ratio, between 0.25% to 0.35% per annum on the undrawn portion of the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. The maturity date of both the 2018 Term Loan A and 2018 Revolving Credit Facility was March 19, 2025. The 2018 Term Loan B maturity date was August 18, 2025.

The 2018 Credit Facility required the Company to comply with a leverage ratio. The 2018 Credit Facility also contained affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of this type, including, among other things, limitations or prohibitions on repurchasing common shares, declaring and paying dividends and other distributions, redeeming and repurchasing certain other indebtedness, making loans and investments, incurring additional indebtedness, granting liens, and effecting mergers, asset sales and transactions with affiliates. In addition, the 2018 Credit Facility contained customary events of default.

On April 12, 2024, concurrently with the issuance of the $800.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes, or the 2029 Secured Notes, as described further below, the Company entered into the eighth amendment to the 2018 Credit Facility. The eighth amendment to the 2018 Credit Facility, among other things, refinanced and replaced in full the 2018 Credit Facility with, (i) a Term Loan B Facility, or the 2024 Term Loan B, with an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million and (ii) a revolving credit facility, or the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility, with an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million, collectively the 2024 Credit Facility. All obligations under the 2024 Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by certain direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Herbalife Ltd. and secured on a senior secured basis by the equity interests of certain of Herbalife Ltd.’s subsidiaries and substantially all of the assets of the domestic loan parties. Interest is due at least quarterly on amounts outstanding under the 2024 Credit Facility.

The 2024 Term Loan B Facility was issued to the lenders at a 7.00% discount, or $28.0 million, and the Company incurred approximately $10.3 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the 2024 Credit Facility. The Company may prepay the 2024 Term Loan B at a 102% premium at any time on or before the first anniversary, 101% premium following the first anniversary and on or prior to the second anniversary, and, solely in connection with a repricing event, at a 101% premium after the second anniversary but on or prior to the third anniversary, and generally at no premium thereafter. The 2024 Term Loan B requires quarterly payments equal to 5.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Term Loan B per annum, commencing in September 2024. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the 2024 Credit Facility, beginning in fiscal year 2025, the Company may be required to make mandatory prepayments towards the 2024 Term Loan B based on an excess cash flow calculation and consolidated leverage ratio as defined under the terms of the 2024 Credit Facility.

Proceeds from the 2024 Term Loan B together with the proceeds from the 2029 Secured Notes were used to repay indebtedness, including all borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Credit Facility, effectively terminating its $228.9 million outstanding principal balance on the 2018 Term Loan A, and repaying $584.3 million on the 2018 Term Loan B, $170.0 million on the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, and a portion of the 2025 Notes described further below. For accounting purposes, pursuant to ASC 470, Debt, these transactions were accounted for as an extinguishment of the 2018 Credit Facility. As a result, the Company recognized $981.0 million as a reduction to long-term debt representing the carrying value of the 2018 Credit Facility repaid in full in the second quarter of 2024. The Company also recognized a loss on extinguishment of approximately $2.5 million, as a result, which was recorded in other expense, net within the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of income during the second quarter of 2024.

Borrowings utilizing SOFR under the 2024 Credit Facility use Adjusted Term SOFR. The applicable interest rates on the Company’s borrowings under the 2024 Term Loan B, as amended, bear interest at either, the Adjusted Term SOFR plus a margin of 6.75%, or the base rate plus a margin of 5.75%. The 2024 Term Loan B Facility matures upon the earlier of (i) April 12, 2029, or (ii) March 16, 2028 if the outstanding principal on the 2028 Convertible Notes, as defined below, exceeds $100.0 million and the Company exceeds certain leverage ratios as of that date, or (iii) June 2, 2025 if the outstanding principal on the 2025 Notes, as defined below, exceeds $200.0 million on such date.

Effective after April 12, 2024, depending on the Company’s total leverage ratio, borrowings under the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at either the Adjusted Term SOFR plus a margin of between 5.50% and 6.50%, or the base rate plus a margin of between 4.50% and 5.50%. The Company pays a commitment fee on the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility of, depending on the Company’s total leverage ratio, between 0.35% to 0.45% per annum on the undrawn portion of the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility. The 2024 Revolving Credit Facility matures upon the earlier of (i) April 12, 2028, (ii) December 16, 2027 if the outstanding principal on the 2028 Convertible Notes, as defined below, exceeds $100.0 million and the Company exceeds certain leverage ratios as of that date, or (iii) March 3, 2025 if the outstanding principal on the 2025 Notes, as defined below, exceeds $200.0 million on such date.

The 2024 Credit Facility contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for financings of this type, including, among other things, limitations or prohibitions on declaring and paying dividends and other distributions, redeeming and repurchasing certain other indebtedness, making loans and investments, incurring additional indebtedness, granting liens, and effecting mergers, asset sales and transactions with affiliates. In addition, the 2024 Credit Facility contains customary events of default. The 2024 Revolving Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain a maximum total leverage ratio of 4.50:1.00 through December 31, 2024, stepping down to 4.25:1.00 on March 31, 2025 and 4.00:1.00 at September 30, 2025 and thereafter. The financial covenants also include a maximum first lien net leverage ratio of 2.50:1.00, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 2.00:1.00, and a minimum liquidity of $200.0 million of revolver availability and accessible cash. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants under the 2024 Credit Facility and 2018 Credit Facility, respectively.

The Company is permitted to make voluntary prepayments, subject to the premiums as discussed above. These prepayments, if any, will be applied against remaining quarterly installments owed under the 2024 Term Loan B in order of maturity with the remaining principal due upon maturity, unless directed otherwise by the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the 2018 Credit Facility excess cash flow clause and based on the 2023 excess cash flow calculation and consolidated leverage ratio as of December 31, 2023, as described and defined under the terms of the 2018 Credit Facility, the Company made a $66.3 million mandatory prepayment towards the 2018 Term Loan B during the first quarter of 2024.

As of June 30, 2024 the weighted-average interest rate for borrowings under the 2024 Credit Facility was 9.34% and as of December 31, 2023 the weighted-average interest rate for borrowings under the 2018 Credit Facility was 7.62%.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company borrowed an aggregate amount of $988.5 million, including $788.5 million under the 2024 Credit Facility, which included $388.5 million of borrowings under the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility, and $200.0 million under the 2018 Credit Facility, all of which was under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, and repaid a total amount of $1,395.2 million, including $308.5 million on amounts outstanding under the 2024 Credit Facility, all of which was under the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility, and $1,086.7 million on amounts outstanding under the 2018 Credit Facility, which included $200.0 million of repayments on amounts outstanding under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility and a $66.3 million mandatory prepayment on amounts outstanding under the 2018 Term Loan B pursuant to the terms of the 2018 Credit Facility excess cash flow clause. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company borrowed an aggregate amount of $71.0 million under the 2018 Credit Facility, all of which was under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, and repaid a total amount of $145.5 million on amounts outstanding under the 2018 Credit Facility, which included $131.0 million of repayments on amounts outstanding under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the U.S. dollar amount outstanding under the 2024 Credit Facility was $480.0 million and 2018 Credit Facility was $886.7 million, respectively. Of the $480.0 million outstanding under the 2024 Credit Facility as of June 30, 2024, $400.0 million was outstanding under the 2024 Term Loan B and $80.0 million was outstanding under the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility. Of the $886.7 million outstanding under the 2018 Credit Facility as of December 31, 2023, $236.1 million was outstanding under the 2018 Term Loan A and $650.6 million was outstanding under the 2018 Term Loan B. There were no borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2023. In addition, as of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had an issued but undrawn letter of credit against the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility and 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, respectively, of approximately $45 million which reduced the Company’s remaining available borrowing capacity under the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility and 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. As a result of these outstanding borrowings and issued but undrawn letter of credit, as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the remaining available borrowing capacity under the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility and 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, respectively, was approximately $275 million and approximately $285 million, respectively. There were no outstanding foreign currency borrowings under both the 2024 Credit Facility and 2018 Credit Facility as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $18.5 million and $18.1 million, respectively, of interest expense relating to the 2024 Credit Facility and 2018 Credit Facility, as applicable, which included $1.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, relating to non-cash interest expense relating to the debt discount and $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, relating to amortization of debt issuance costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $37.4 million and $35.2 million, respectively, of interest expense relating to the 2024 Credit Facility and 2018 Credit Facility, as applicable, which included $1.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, relating to non-cash interest expense relating to the debt discount and $1.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, relating to amortization of debt issuance costs.

The fair value of the outstanding borrowings under the 2024 Term Loan B and 2018 Term Loan B are determined by utilizing over-the-counter market quotes, which are considered Level 2 inputs as described in Note 12, Fair Value Measurements. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying amount of the 2024 Term Loan B and 2018 Term Loan B, respectively, was $366.9 million and $648.2 million, respectively, and the fair value was approximately $385.0 million and $650.6 million, respectively. The fair value of the outstanding borrowings on the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility and 2018 Revolving Credit Facility approximated its carrying value of $80.0 million and zero, respectively, as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, due to its variable interest rate which reprices frequently and represents floating market rates. The fair value of the outstanding borrowings on the 2018 Term Loan A were determined by utilizing over-the-counter market quotes for similar instruments, which were considered Level 2 inputs as described in Note 12, Fair Value Measurements. As of December 31, 2023, the carrying value of the 2018 Term Loan A was $235.5 million, and the fair value was approximately $236.1 million.

Senior Secured Notes due 2029

In April 2024, the Company issued $800.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes, or the 2029 Secured Notes, in a private offering in the United States to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers, pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and outside the United States to non-US persons pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The 2029 Secured Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company and each of the Company's existing and future subsidiaries that is a guarantor of the obligations of any domestic borrower under the 2024 Credit Facility. The 2029 Secured Notes pay interest at a rate of 12.250% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2024. The 2029 Secured Notes mature on April 15, 2029.

At any time prior to April 15, 2026, the Company may redeem all or part of the 2029 Secured Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus a “make whole” premium as of the redemption date and accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. In addition, at any time prior to April 15, 2026, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Secured Notes with the proceeds of one or more equity offerings, at a redemption price equal to 112.250%, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Furthermore, at any time on or after April 15, 2026, the Company may redeem all or part of the 2029 Secured Notes at the following redemption prices, expressed as percentages of principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on April 15 of the years indicated below:

The 2029 Secured Notes contain customary negative covenants, including, among other things, limitations or prohibitions on restricted payments, incurrence of additional indebtedness, liens, mergers, asset sales and transactions with affiliates. In addition, the 2029 Secured Notes contain customary events of default.

The 2029 Secured Notes were sold at a 2.702% discount to par, or $21.6 million, and the Company incurred approximately $13.9 million of issuance cost in connection with the issuance of the 2029 Secured Notes. The total of $35.5 million which was recorded as a debt discount on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet, is being amortized over the contractual term of the 2029 Secured Notes using the effective-interest method.

As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding principal on the 2029 Secured Notes was $800.0 million, the unamortized debt issuance costs were $13.5 million, and the carrying amount was $765.6 million, which was recorded to long-term debt within the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the 2029 Secured Notes was approximately $804.1 million as of June 30, 2024, and was determined by utilizing over-the-counter market quotes and yield curves, which are considered Level 2 inputs as defined in Note 12, Fair Value Measurements.

During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized $22.6 million of interest expense relating to the 2029 Secured Notes, which included $0.7 million relating to non-cash interest expense relating to the debt discount and $0.4 million relating to amortization of debt issuance costs.

Convertible Senior Notes due 2024

In March 2018, the Company issued $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes, or the 2024 Convertible Notes, in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers, pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The 2024 Convertible Notes were senior unsecured obligations which ranked effectively subordinate to any of the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness, including amounts outstanding under the 2018 Credit Facility, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The 2024 Convertible Notes paid interest at a rate of 2.625% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2018. Unless redeemed, repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date, the 2024 Convertible Notes matured on March 15, 2024. On and after December 15, 2023, holders could convert their 2024 Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the circumstances. In December 2021, the Company made an irrevocable election under the indenture governing the 2024 Convertible Notes to require the principal portion of the 2024 Convertible Notes to be settled in cash and any excess in shares or cash. Upon conversion, the 2024 Convertible Notes would have been settled in cash and, if applicable, the Company’s common shares, based on the applicable conversion rate at such time. The 2024 Convertible Notes had an initial conversion rate of 16.0056 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of the 2024 Convertible Notes, or an initial conversion price of approximately $62.48 per common share. The conversion rate was subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events and was 16.0467 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of the 2024 Convertible Notes, or a conversion price of approximately $62.32 per common share, as of March 15, 2024, prior to its maturity.

In March 2018, prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06 as described further below, the $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Convertible Notes were initially allocated between long-term debt, or liability component, and additional paid-in capital, or

14


 

equity component, within the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at $410.1 million and $139.9 million, respectively. The liability component was measured using the nonconvertible debt interest rate. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the face value of the 2024 Convertible Notes as a whole. Since the Company was required to settle these 2024 Convertible Notes at face value at or prior to maturity, this liability component was being accreted up to its face value prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06, resulting in additional non-cash interest expense being recognized within the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income while the 2024 Convertible Notes remained outstanding. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the effective-interest rate on the 2024 Convertible Notes was approximately 8.4% per annum. The equity component was not to be remeasured as long as it continued to meet the conditions for equity classification.

The Company incurred approximately $12.9 million of issuance costs during the first quarter of 2018 relating to the issuance of the 2024 Convertible Notes. Of the $12.9 million issuance costs incurred, $9.6 million and $3.3 million were recorded as debt issuance costs and additional paid-in capital, respectively, in proportion to the allocation of the proceeds of the 2024 Convertible Notes prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06. The $9.6 million of debt issuance costs, which was recorded as an additional debt discount on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, was amortized over the contractual term of the 2024 Convertible Notes using the effective-interest method.

The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 during the first quarter of 2022 using the modified retrospective method and recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit in the period of adoption. As a result of adopting ASU 2020-06, on January 1, 2022, the Company increased long-term debt by approximately $59.1 million, reduced paid-in capital in excess of par value by approximately $136.7 million, and decreased accumulated deficit by approximately $77.6 million within its condensed consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the effective-interest on the 2024 Convertible Notes is approximately 3.1% per annum.

In December 2022, the Company issued $277.5 million aggregate principal amount of new convertible senior notes due 2028, or the 2028 Convertible Notes as described below, and subsequently used the proceeds, to repurchase $287.5 million of its existing 2024 Convertible Notes from a limited number of holders in privately negotiated transactions for an aggregate purchase price of $274.9 million, which included $1.7 million of accrued interest. For accounting purposes, pursuant to ASC 470, Debt, these transactions were accounted for as an extinguishment of 2024 Convertible Notes and an issuance of new 2028 Convertible Notes. As a result, the Company recognized $286.0 million as a reduction to long-term debt representing the carrying value of the repurchased 2024 Convertible Notes. The $12.8 million difference between the cash paid and carrying value of the repurchased 2024 Convertible Notes was recognized as a gain on the extinguishment of debt and is recorded in other (income) expense, net within the Company’s consolidated statement of income during the fourth quarter of 2022. The accounting impact of the new 2028 Convertible Notes is described in further detail below.

In August 2023, the Company repurchased $65.5 million of its existing 2024 Convertible Notes through open market purchases for an aggregate purchase price of $65.1 million, which included $0.8 million of accrued interest.

The $1.0 million difference between the cash paid and carrying value of the repurchased 2024 Convertible Notes was recognized as a gain on the extinguishment of debt and is recorded in other income, net within the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of income during the third quarter of 2023.

On March 15, 2024, the 2024 Convertible Notes matured and the Company repaid the remaining $197.0 million outstanding principal in cash, as well as $2.6 million of accrued interest. As a result, the Company recognized $197.0 million as a reduction to current portion of long-term debt representing the carrying value of the repurchased 2024 Convertible Notes. As of December 31, 2023, the remaining outstanding principal on the 2024 Convertible Notes was $197.0 million, the unamortized debt issuance costs were $0.2 million, and the carrying amount was $196.8 million, which was recorded to current portion of long-term debt within the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

Upon conversion, the principal portion of the 2028 Convertible Notes will be settled in cash and to the extent the conversion value exceeds the principal amount, the Company may elect to settle in cash, or a combination of cash and common shares, based on the applicable conversion rate at such time. The 2028 Convertible Notes had an initial conversion rate of 58.8998 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes, or an initial conversion price of approximately $16.98 per common share.

Tax Matters

The Mexican Tax Administration Service has delayed processing value-added tax, or VAT, refunds for companies operating in Mexico and the Company believes that the process for its Mexico subsidiary to receive VAT refunds may be delayed. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $21.3 million of Mexico VAT-related assets, of which $13.0 million was recognized in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $8.3 million was recognized in other assets within its condensed consolidated balance sheet. This amount relates to VAT payments made over various periods and the Company believes these amounts are recoverable by refund or they may be applied against certain future tax liabilities. Effective January 1, 2019, a tax reform law changed the rules concerning possible use of VAT assets, specifically providing that, for VAT balances generated after December 31, 2018, those balances could not be offset against taxes other than VAT obligations currently due. The Company has not recognized any losses related to these VAT-related assets as the Company does not believe a loss is probable.

In addition, the Mexican Tax Administration Service audited the Company’s various tax filings for the 2019 year. During July 2024, the Company received a tax assessment for its 2019 tax year of approximately $23.8 million, translated at the June 30, 2024 spot rate, relating to the VAT rate that was primarily applicable to certain of the Company’s products that were previously imported into Mexico. The Company plans to initiate a formal administrative appeal process. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses. The Company has not recognized a loss as the Company does not believe a loss is probable.

The Company has received tax assessments for multiple years from the Federal Revenue Office of Brazil related to withholding/contributions based on payments to the Company’s Members. In February 2022, the Company received a mixed verdict related to the 2004 tax assessment which reduced the exposure to the Company. The aggregate combined amount of all these assessments is equivalent to approximately $10.2 million, translated at the June 30, 2024 spot rate. The Company is currently litigating these assessments and has provided a surety bond for certain of these amounts. The Company has not accrued a loss for the majority of the assessments because the Company does not believe a loss is probable. The Company is currently unable to reasonably estimate the amount of the loss that may result from an unfavorable outcome if additional assessments for other periods were to be issued.

The Company is under examination in several Brazilian states related to ICMS and ICMS-ST taxation. Some of these examinations have resulted in assessments for underpaid tax that the Company has appealed. The State of São Paulo has audited the Company for the 2013 and 2014 tax years. During July 2016 and August 2017, for the State of São Paulo, the Company received assessments in the aggregate amount of approximately $28.7 million and approximately $10.7 million, respectively, translated at the June 30, 2024 spot rate, relating to various ICMS issues for its 2013 and 2014 tax years, respectively. The Company appealed both of these assessments. The Company recently received an unfavorable decision at the Third Level Administrative Court on the 2013 tax year case and in November 2023, the Company provided a surety bond to the Court and an undrawn letter of credit to the surety bond issuer, each for approximately $45 million, in order to litigate the case at the Judicial level. The 2014 tax year case is still at the Third Level Administrative Court. The Company is continuing to litigate both of these assessments. Separately, the State of São Paulo is auditing the Company for the 2017 to 2023 tax years, and during December 2023, March 2024, and June 2024, the Company received assessments in the aggregate amount of approximately $41.3 million, approximately $26.1 million, and approximately $15.7 million, respectively, translated at the June 30, 2024 spot rate, relating to various ICMS issues for its 2018, 2019, and 2020 tax years, respectively. The 2018, 2019, and the 2020 tax year cases are at the First Administrative Court and the Company is appealing all of these assessments. Litigation in all these cases is currently ongoing. The Company has not recognized a loss relating to any of these cases, assessments, and matters as the Company does not believe a loss is probable.

During September 2018, for the State of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, the Company received an assessment in the aggregate amount of approximately $6.3 million, translated at the June 30, 2024 spot rate, relating to various ICMS-ST issues for its 2016 and 2017 tax years. The Company is appealing this assessment and the case is at the First Level Judicial Court. The Company has also received other ICMS tax assessments in Brazil. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company filed appeals with state judicial courts against three of the assessments. The Company had provided surety bonds in the aggregate amount of $11.3 million, translated at the June 30, 2024 spot rate, to guarantee payment of some of the tax assessments as required while the Company pursues the appeals. In addition, the Company has received several ICMS tax assessments in the aggregate amount of $2.8 million, translated at the June 30, 2024 spot rate, from several other Brazilian states where surety bonds have not been issued. Litigation in all these cases is currently ongoing. The Company has not recognized a loss relating to any of these cases, assessments, and matters as the Company does not believe a loss is probable.

The Company has received various tax assessments in multiple jurisdictions in India for multiple years from the Indian VAT and Service Tax authorities in an amount equivalent to approximately $12.3 million, translated at the June 30, 2024 spot rate. These assessments are for underpaid VAT and the ability to claim input Service Tax credits. The Company is litigating these cases at the tax administrative level and the tax tribunal levels as it believes it has meritorious defenses. The Company has not recognized a loss as it does not believe a loss is probable. In addition, the Indian income tax authorities audited the Company’s fiscal years ended March 31, 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2021 and the Company has received assessments for tax and interest of approximately $17.4 million, $16.9 million, $14.6 million and $16.5 million for those respective years, translated at the June 30, 2024 spot rate. These assessments are subject to interest and penalty adjustments. For the assessments related to fiscal years March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018, the Company received a favorable verdict at the Tax Tribunal level; however, the government has appealed these verdicts to the High Court. The Company intends to litigate these cases for fiscal years ended March 31, 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2021. The Company currently believes that it is more likely than not that it will be successful in supporting its positions relating to these assessments. Accordingly, the Company has not accrued any amounts relating to these matters. In addition, the Indian income tax authorities are auditing multiple years and it is uncertain whether additional assessments will be received.

During the course of 2016, the Company received various questions from the Greek Social Security Agency and on December 29, 2016, the Greek Social Security Agency issued assessments with respect to Social Security Contributions on Member earnings for the 2006 year. For Social Security issues, the statute of limitations is open for 2014 and later years in Greece. Despite the assessment amount being immaterial, the Company could receive similar assessments covering other years. The Company continues to litigate the assessment. The Company has not recognized a loss as it does not believe a loss is probable. The Company is currently unable to reasonably estimate the amount of the loss that may result from an unfavorable outcome if additional assessments for other periods were to be issued.

U.S. Federal Trade Commission Consent Order

On July 15, 2016, the Company and the Federal Trade Commission, or the FTC, entered into a proposed Stipulation to Entry of Order for Permanent Injunction and Monetary Judgment, or the Consent Order. The Consent Order was lodged with the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on July 15, 2016 and became effective on July 25, 2016, or the Effective Date. The Consent Order resolved the FTC’s multi-year investigation of the Company.

Pursuant to the Consent Order, under which the Company neither admitted nor denied the FTC’s allegations (except as to the Court having jurisdiction over the matter), the Company made, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Herbalife International of America, Inc., a $200 million payment to the FTC. Additionally, the Company implemented and continues to enhance certain existing procedures in the U.S. Among other requirements, the Consent Order requires the Company to categorize all existing and future Members in the U.S. as either “preferred members” – who are simply consumers who only wish to purchase products for their own household use, or “distributors” – who are Members who wish to resell some products or build a sales organization. The Company also agreed to compensate distributors on eligible U.S. sales within their downline organization, which include purchases by preferred members, purchases by a distributor for his or her personal consumption within allowable limits and sales of product by a distributor to his or her customers. The Consent Order also imposes restrictions on a distributor’s ability to open Nutrition Clubs in the United States. The Consent Order imposes requirements on the Company regarding compliance certification and record creation and maintenance; and prohibits the Company, its affiliates and its distributors from making misrepresentations and misleading claims regarding, among other things, income and lavish lifestyles. The FTC has the right to inspect Company records and request additional compliance reports for purposes of conducting audits pursuant to the Consent Order. The Consent Order also required that the Company’s compliance be subject to audits by an Independent Compliance Auditor for seven years. The Independent Compliance Auditor’s term ended on May 28, 2024. The Company continues to monitor the impact of the Consent Order and, while the Company currently does not expect the settlement to have a long-term and materially adverse impact on its business and its Member base, the Company’s business and its Member base, particularly in the United States, may be negatively impacted. If the Company is unable to comply with the Consent Order then this could result in a material and adverse impact to the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

Other Matters

On August 28, 2020, the SEC accepted the Offer of Settlement and issued an administrative order finding that the Company violated the books and records and internal controls provisions of the FCPA. In addition, on August 28, 2020, the Company and the DOJ separately entered into a court-approved deferred prosecution agreement, or DPA, under which the DOJ deferred criminal prosecution of the Company for a period of three years related to a conspiracy to violate the books and records provisions of the FCPA. The Company paid the SEC and the DOJ aggregate penalties, disgorgement and prejudgment interest of approximately $123 million in September 2020, of which $83 million and $40 million were recognized in selling, general, and administrative expenses within the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to this matter. Among other things, the Company was required to undertake compliance self-reporting obligations for the three-year terms of the agreements with the SEC and the DOJ. The DPA’s three-year term expired on August 28, 2023. On February 28, 2024, the DOJ determined that the Company has complied with its obligations under the DPA and filed a motion to dismiss the action. The Court subsequently dismissed the deferred charge with prejudice on February 29, 2024.

On January 17, 2022, the Company filed a lawsuit, titled Herbalife International of America, Inc. vs. Eastern Computer Exchange, Inc., against a former technology services vendor in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The Company alleges claims of breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, fraudulent concealment, conversion, and declaratory relief related to the defendant’s request for payment for technology services and products that the company never authorized. The defendant asserted numerous counterclaims against the Company. On December 28, 2022, the Court partially granted a motion to dismiss counterclaims, leaving only breach of contract, promissory estoppel, and declaratory relief counterclaims. Summary judgment motions were filed, and the Court denied the defendant's motion for summary judgment and partially granted the Company's motion for summary judgment on March 18, 2024. The Company believes the defendant’s remaining counterclaim is without merit and will vigorously defend itself while pursuing relief for its own claims. The current trial date for the action is April 8, 2025. The Company is currently unable to reasonably estimate the amount of the loss that may result from an unfavorable outcome and does not believe a loss is probable.

6. Segment Information

The Company is a nutrition company that sells a wide range of weight management; targeted nutrition; energy, sports, and fitness; and outer nutrition products. The Company’s products are manufactured by the Company in its Changsha, Hunan, China extraction facility; Suzhou, China facility; Nanjing, China facility; Lake Forest, California facility; and Winston-Salem, North Carolina facility, as well as by third-party providers, and then are sold to Members who consume and sell Herbalife products to retail consumers or other Members. Revenues reflect sales of products by the Company to its Members and are categorized based on geographic location.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company sold products in 95 markets throughout the world and was organized and managed by five geographic regions: North America, Latin America, EMEA, Asia Pacific, and China. The Company defines its operating segments as those geographical operations. The Company aggregates its operating segments, excluding China, into a reporting segment, or the Primary Reporting Segment, as management believes that the Company’s operating segments have similar operating characteristics and similar long-term operating performance. In making this determination, management believes that the operating segments are similar in the nature of the products sold, the product acquisition process, the types of customers to whom products are sold, the methods used to distribute the products, the nature of the regulatory environment, and their economic characteristics. China has been identified as a separate reporting segment as it does not meet the criteria for aggregation. The Company reviews its net sales and contribution margin by operating segment, and reviews its assets and capital expenditures on a consolidated basis and not by operating segment. Therefore, net sales and contribution margin are presented by reportable segment and assets and capital expenditures by segment are not presented.

Contribution margin consists of net sales less cost of sales, Royalty overrides, and service fees to our independent service providers in China. For the China segment, contribution margin includes the portion of service fees to China independent service providers that are currently recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses within the Company's accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income, which totaled $41.1 million and $44.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $77.9 million and $78.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
(2)
Selling, general, and administrative expenses exclude the portion of service fees to China independent service providers that are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses within the Company's accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income as described in footnote (1) above.
(3)
In the second quarter of 2024, the Company, as part of its restructuring initiatives, which are described further in Note 13, Restructuring Activities, changed its contribution margin presentation for its China segment which now includes expenses related to service fees to the Company's independent service providers in China as described in the footnotes immediately above. Historically, the China contribution margin did not include the portion of service fees that are recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. Historical information presented in the table above has been reclassified to conform with the current period contribution margin presentation. This change had no impact on the Company's accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income and only impacts this segment note presentation.

7. Share-Based Compensation

The Company has share-based compensation plans, which are more fully described in Note 9, Share-Based Compensation, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2023 10-K. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted restricted stock units subject to service conditions and stock appreciation rights, or SARs, subject to service conditions and service and performance conditions.

Share-based compensation expense amounted to $11.8 million and $11.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $23.7 million and $22.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to all non-vested stock awards was $88.1 million and the related weighted-average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately 1.9 years.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted SARs with service conditions to certain executives which generally vest over a two-year period. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted SARs with performance conditions to a consultant where tranches could vest during the first quarter of 2025, 2026, or 2027 subject to certain North America and Global volume points performance targets being achieved by the Company. The fair value of all these SARs was determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. These grants are included in the table below.

(2)
Includes 45,044 performance-based restricted stock units.

The total vesting date fair value of restricted stock units which vested during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $10.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively. The total vesting date fair value of restricted stock units which vested during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $17.1 million and $22.8 million, respectively.

8. Income Taxes

Income taxes were $7.5 million and $25.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $17.2 million and $26.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective income tax rate was 61.5% and 29.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 37.2% and 23.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to changes in the geographic mix of the Company’s income and an increase in tax expense from discrete events. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to changes in the geographic mix of the Company’s income, partially offset by an increase in tax benefits from discrete events.

As of June 30, 2024, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including related interest and penalties, was $62.9 million. If the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was recognized, $44.4 million of unrecognized tax benefits, $13.2 million of interest, and $1.7 million of penalties would impact the effective tax rate.

24


 

The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by up to approximately $9.1 million within the next twelve months. Of this possible decrease, $8.2 million would be due to the expiration of statute of limitations in various jurisdictions. The remaining possible decrease of $0.9 million would be due to the settlement of audits or resolution of administrative or judicial proceedings.

9. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Foreign Currency Instruments

The Company designates certain foreign currency derivatives, primarily comprised of foreign currency forward contracts and option contracts, as freestanding derivatives for which hedge accounting does not apply. The changes in the fair market value of these freestanding derivatives are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses within the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company primarily uses freestanding foreign currency derivatives to hedge foreign currency-denominated intercompany transactions and to partially mitigate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. The fair value of the freestanding foreign currency derivatives is based on third-party quotes. The Company’s foreign currency derivative contracts are generally executed on a monthly basis.

The Company designates as cash flow hedges those foreign currency forward contracts it enters into to hedge forecasted inventory purchases and intercompany management fees that are subject to foreign currency exposures. Forward contracts are used to hedge forecasted inventory purchases over specific months. Changes in the fair value of these forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges, excluding forward points, are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders’ deficit, and are recognized in cost of sales within the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of income during the period which approximates the time the hedged inventory is sold. The Company also hedges forecasted intercompany management fees over specific months. These contracts allow the Company to sell Euros in exchange for U.S. dollars at specified contract rates. Changes in the fair value of these forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges, excluding forward points, are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders’ deficit, and are recognized in selling, general, and administrative expenses within the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of income during the period when the hedged item and underlying transaction affect earnings. The Company has elected to record changes in the fair value of amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness currently in earnings.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the aggregate notional amounts of all foreign currency contracts outstanding designated as cash flow hedges were approximately $72.1 million and $76.3 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, these outstanding contracts were expected to mature over the next fifteen months. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value based on third-party quotes. As of June 30, 2024, the Company recorded assets at fair value of $3.2 million and liabilities at fair value of $0.4 million relating to all outstanding foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges. As of December 31, 2023, the Company recorded assets at fair value of zero and liabilities at fair value of $3.3 million relating to all outstanding foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges. The Company assesses hedge effectiveness at least quarterly and the hedges remained effective as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

As of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the majority of the Company’s outstanding foreign currency forward contracts related to freestanding derivatives had maturity dates of less than twelve months with the majority expiring within one month. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had aggregate notional amounts of approximately $619.2 million of foreign currency contracts, inclusive of freestanding contracts and contracts designated as cash flow hedges.

The following tables summarize the derivative activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 relating to all the Company’s derivatives.

Dividends

The Company has not declared or paid cash dividends since 2014. The declaration of future dividends is subject to the discretion of the Company’s board of directors and will depend upon various factors, including its earnings, financial condition, Herbalife Ltd.’s available distributable reserves under Cayman Islands law, restrictions imposed by the 2024 Credit Facility and the terms of any other indebtedness that may be outstanding, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by its board of directors.

Share Repurchases

On February 9, 2021, the Company’s board of directors authorized a three-year $1.5 billion share repurchase program which had approximately $985.5 million of remaining authorized capacity prior to the share repurchase program expiring on February 9, 2024. This share repurchase program allowed the Company, which included an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Herbalife Ltd., to repurchase the Company’s common shares at such times and prices as determined by management, as market conditions warranted, and to the extent Herbalife Ltd.’s distributable reserves were available under Cayman Islands law. The 2024 Credit Facility permits the Company to repurchase its common shares as long as no default or event of default exists and other conditions, such as specified consolidated leverage ratios, are met.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not repurchase any of its common shares through open-market purchases.

The number of shares issued upon vesting or exercise for certain restricted stock units and SARs granted pursuant to the Company’s share-based compensation plans is net of the statutory withholding requirements that the Company pays on behalf of its employees. Although shares withheld are not issued, they are treated as common share repurchases in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, as they reduce the number of shares that would have been issued upon vesting. These shares do not count against the authorized capacity under the Company’s share repurchase program described above. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company withheld shares on its vested restricted stock units and exercised SARs relating to its share-based compensation plans.

The Company reflects the aggregate purchase price of its common shares repurchased as an increase to shareholders’ deficit. The Company generally allocates the purchase price of the repurchased shares to accumulated deficit, common shares and additional paid-in capital.

For both the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s share repurchases, inclusive of transaction costs, were zero, under the Company’s share repurchase programs, and $5.7 million and $9.4 million, respectively, due to shares withheld for tax purposes related to the Company’s share-based compensation plans and have been recorded as an increase to shareholders’ deficit within the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

11. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share represents net income divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share represents net income divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, inclusive of the effect of dilutive securities, such as outstanding SARs, restricted stock units, and convertible notes.

The following are the common share amounts used to compute the basic and diluted earnings per share for each period:

There were an aggregate of 14.8 million and 6.0 million of equity grants, consisting of SARs and restricted stock units, that were outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and an aggregate of 15.0 million and 5.5 million of equity grants, consisting of SARs and restricted stock units, that were outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive or the performance condition of the award had not been satisfied.

For the 2024 Convertible Notes, prior to maturing on March 15, 2024, the Company was required to settle the principal amount in cash and had the option to settle the conversion feature for the amount above the conversion price, or the conversion spread, in common shares or cash. The Company used the if-converted stock method for calculating any potential dilutive effect of the conversion spread on diluted earnings per share, if applicable. The conversion spread would have had a dilutive impact on diluted earnings per share when the average market price of the Company’s common shares for a given period exceeded the conversion price of the 2024 Convertible Notes. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the 2024 Convertible Notes were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive since the conversion price of the 2024 Convertible Notes exceeded the average market price of the Company’s common shares for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The initial conversion rate and conversion price for the 2024 Convertible Notes are described further in Note 4, Long-Term Debt.

For the 2028 Convertible Notes, the Company is required to settle the principal amount in cash and has the option to settle the conversion feature for the amount above the conversion price, or the conversion spread, in cash or common shares and cash. The Company uses the if-converted method for calculating any potential dilutive effect of the conversion spread on diluted earnings per share, if applicable. The conversion spread will have a dilutive impact on diluted earnings per share when the average market price of the Company’s common shares for a given period exceeds the conversion price of the 2028 Convertible Notes. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the 2028 Convertible Notes have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect would be anti-dilutive since the conversion price of the 2028 Convertible Notes exceeded the average market price of the Company’s common shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the 2028 Convertible Notes have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect would be anti-dilutive since the conversion price of the 2028 Convertible Notes exceeded the average market price of the Company’s common shares for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The dilutive impact for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 0.3 million common shares. The initial conversion rate and conversion price for the 2028 Convertible Notes are described further in Note 4, Long-Term Debt.

12. Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820, for its financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

31


 

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value as discussed throughout the notes to its condensed consolidated financial statements. Foreign exchange currency contracts are valued using standard calculations and models. Foreign exchange currency contracts are valued primarily based on inputs such as observable forward rates, spot rates, and foreign currency exchange rates at the reporting period ended date. The Company’s derivative assets and liabilities are measured at fair value and consisted of Level 2 inputs and their amounts are shown below at their gross values as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of money market funds and foreign and domestic bank accounts. These cash and cash equivalents are valued based on Level 1 inputs which consist of quoted prices in active markets. To reduce its credit risk, the Company monitors the credit standing of the financial institutions that hold the Company’s cash and cash equivalents.

The Company’s deferred compensation plan assets consist of Company-owned life insurance policies. As these policies are recorded at their cash surrender value, they are not required to be included in the fair value table above. See Note 6, Employee Compensation Plans, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2023 10-K for a further description of the Company’s deferred compensation plan assets.

The Company offsets all of its derivative assets and derivative liabilities in its condensed consolidated balance sheets to the extent it maintains master netting arrangements with related financial institutions. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, all of the Company’s derivatives were subject to master netting arrangements and no collateralization was required for the Company’s derivative assets and derivative liabilities.

13. Restructuring Activities

In 2021, the Company initiated a global transformation program to optimize global processes for future growth, or the Transformation Program. The Transformation Program involves the investment in certain new technologies and the realignment of infrastructure and the locations of certain functions to better support distributors and customers. The Company has incurred total pre-tax expenses of approximately $88.6 million through June 30, 2024, of which $3.5 million and $10.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $9.4 million and $37.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were recognized in selling, general, and administrative expenses within its condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company expects to incur total pre-tax expenses of approximately $90 million relating to the Transformation Program based on actual expenses incurred to date and expected future expenses. The Transformation Program is expected to be completed in 2024.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company initiated an organizational redesign project, or the Restructuring Program, to streamline its organizational structure to make it more efficient and effective and to allow the Company’s management team to work more closely with the markets, its distributors, and its customers. The Company has incurred total pre-tax expenses of approximately $65.5 million through June 30, 2024, of which $48.8 million and $65.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, were recognized in selling, general, and administrative expenses within its condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company expects to incur total pre-tax expenses of approximately $70 million relating to the Restructuring Program based on actual expenses incurred to date and expected future expenses. The Restructuring Program is expected to be completed in 2024. Since the Restructuring Program is still ongoing, these estimated amounts are preliminary and based on management’s estimates and actual results could differ from such estimates.

15. Subsequent Events

Sale and Leaseback of Office Building

During July 2024, the Company completed a sale and a sixteen-month leaseback transaction with an independent third-party for the land, building, and related building improvements of its office building in Torrance, California. The aggregate sales price, net of closing costs relating to the sale transaction was approximately $38 million. The Company expects that these transactions will meet the requirements for sale-leaseback accounting, and as a result, the Company expects that during the third quarter of 2024, a gain of approximately $4 million will be recorded in selling, general, and administrative expense within the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of income, and the land, building, and building improvements of approximately $34 million will be removed from the Company’s total assets within its condensed consolidated balance sheet related to the sale transaction. The Company also expects that the right-of-use asset and lease liabilities relating to the sixteen-month leaseback transaction of approximately $4 million will be recorded within the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet in the third quarter of 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the land, building, and related building improvements of approximately $34 million, as described above, were classified as held for sale assets and recognized in prepaid expenses and other current assets within the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with other information, including our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, and our consolidated financial statements appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, or the 2023 10-K. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our,” or similar terms, refer to Herbalife Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability, and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Overview

We are a global nutrition company that sells weight management; targeted nutrition; energy, sports, and fitness; and outer nutrition products to and through independent members, or Members. In China, we sell our products to and through independent service providers and sales representatives to customers and preferred customers, as well as through Company-operated retail platforms when necessary. We refer to Members that distribute our products and achieve certain qualification requirements as “sales leaders.”

We provide high-quality, science-backed products to Members and their customers who seek a healthy lifestyle and we also offer a business opportunity to those Members who seek additional income. We believe enhanced consumer awareness and demand for our products due to global trends such as the obesity epidemic, increasing interest in a fit and active lifestyle, living healthier, and the rise of entrepreneurship, coupled with the effectiveness of personalized selling through a direct sales channel, have been the primary reasons for our continued success.

Our products are grouped in four principal categories: weight management; targeted nutrition; energy, sports, and fitness; and outer nutrition, along with literature, promotional, and other items. Our products are often sold through a series of related products and literature designed to simplify weight management and nutrition for consumers and maximize our Members’ cross-selling opportunities.

While we continue to monitor the current global financial environment, including the impacts of the inflation, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, and the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, we remain focused on the opportunities and challenges in retailing our products and enhancing the customer experience, sponsoring and retaining Members, improving Member productivity, further penetrating existing markets, globalizing successful Daily Methods of Operation, or DMOs, such as Nutrition Clubs, Fit Clubs, and Weight Loss Challenges, introducing new products and globalizing existing products, developing niche market segments and further investing in our infrastructure.

We sell our products in five geographic regions:

North America;
Latin America, which consists of Mexico and South and Central America;
EMEA, which consists of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa;
Asia Pacific (excluding China); and
China.

On July 15, 2016, we reached a settlement with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, and entered into the Consent Order, which resolved the FTC’s multi-year investigation of the Company. We continue to monitor the impact of the Consent Order and our Audit Committee assists our board of directors in overseeing continued compliance with the Consent Order. While we currently do not expect the settlement to have a long-term and materially adverse impact on our business and our Member base, our business and our Member base, particularly in the U.S., may be negatively impacted. The terms of the Consent Order do not change our going to market through direct selling by independent distributors, and compensating those distributors based upon the product they and their sales organization sell. See Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the 2023 10-K for a discussion of risks related to the settlement with the FTC.

Certain Factors Impacting Results

Global inflationary pressures and other macroeconomic factors such as foreign exchange rate fluctuations and geopolitical conflicts can impact our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. For example, inflationary pressure impacts both our cost structures and our pricing. During the first half of 2024, we instituted pricing actions in certain markets to address region or market-specific conditions. We also instituted localized price increases in 2023. These actions are discussed further in the Sales by Geographic Region discussion further below. We continue to examine our cost structure and assess additional potential incremental pricing actions in response to ongoing inflationary pressures.

The war in Ukraine has also impacted our results there as well as in Russia and certain neighboring markets; we do not have any manufacturing operations in Russia and Ukraine and our combined total assets in Russia and Ukraine, which primarily consists of short-term assets, was less than 1% of our consolidated total assets as of June 30, 2024.

Given the unpredictable and fluid nature of these factors, we are unable to predict the extent to which they will adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations, including the impact they may have on our geographic regions and individual markets. See “Summary Financial Results” and “Sales by Geographic Region” for more specific discussion of these and other factors. See Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the 2023 10-K for a further discussion of risks related to these matters.

Volume Points by Geographic Region

A key non-financial measure we focus on is Volume Points on a Royalty Basis, or Volume Points, which is essentially our weighted-average measure of product sales volume. Volume Points, which are unaffected by exchange rates or price changes, are used by management as a proxy for sales trends because in general, excluding the impact of price changes, an increase in Volume Points in a particular geographic region or country indicates an increase in our local currency net sales while a decrease in Volume Points in a particular geographic region or country indicates a decrease in our local currency net sales. The criteria we use to determine how and when we recognize Volume Points are not identical to our revenue recognition policies under U.S. GAAP. Unlike net sales, which are generally recognized when the product is delivered and when control passes to the Member, as discussed in greater detail in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we recognize Volume Points when a Member pays for the order, which is generally prior to the product being delivered. Further, the periods in which Volume Points are tracked can vary slightly from the fiscal periods for which we report our results under U.S. GAAP. Therefore, there can be timing differences between the product orders for which net sales are recognized and for which Volume Points are recognized within a given period. However, historically these timing differences generally have been immaterial in the context of using changes in Volume Points as a proxy to explain volume-driven changes in net sales.

The specific number of Volume Points assigned to a product, which is generally consistent across all markets, is based on a Volume Point to suggested retail price ratio for similar products. If a product is available in different quantities, the various sizes will have different Volume Point values. In general, once assigned, a Volume Point value historically has been consistent in each region and country and has not changed from year to year. For strategic reasons and to increase our Members’ ability to promote the business opportunity and stimulate volume growth, as described further below in the Latin America section of the Sales by Geographic Region, certain Volume Point values were adjusted during the second quarter of 2024 for most markets within the Latin America region, excluding Mexico. We use Volume Points for Member qualification and recognition purposes, as well as a proxy for sales trends, and therefore, generally, we have historically kept Volume Points for a similar or like product consistent on a global basis. However, because Volume Points are a function of value rather than product type or size, they are not a reliable measure for product mix. As an example, an increase in Volume Points in a specific country or region could mean a significant increase in sales of less expensive products or a marginal increase in sales of more expensive products.

Excluding Volume Point adjustments made during the second quarter of 2024 for most products in Latin America markets, excluding Mexico, the percent change for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 would have been a decrease of 3.5% and 4.8%, respectively.

Excluding Volume Point adjustments made during the second quarter of 2024 for most products in Latin America markets, excluding Mexico, the percent change for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 would have been a decrease of 6.2% and 5.0%, respectively.

 

Volume Points decreased 6.0% and 4.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, after having decreased 12.6% and 13.5%, respectively, for the same periods in 2023. Excluding the impact of the adjustments made in the second quarter of 2024, Volume Points decreased 6.2% and 5.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

 

North America's Volume Point decreased for the second quarter and first half of 2024 as compared to the same periods in 2023 and the decreases were less than the prior period decreases. In North America, we continue to enhance our educational, training, and motivational programs and promotions. Latin America had lesser Volume Point decreases for the second quarter and first half of 2024 as compared to the same periods in 2023. Latin America continues to have difficult economic conditions including inflationary impacts on Members’ operations, and political and social instability in certain markets; however, we have implemented certain pricing changes and marketing plan changes in most markets in the region, excluding Mexico, which we believe did positively impact many of the markets in Latin America. EMEA’s Volume Point decreased for the second quarter and first half of 2024 as compared to the same periods in 2023. We believe EMEA results were negatively impacted by inflationary pressure and other ongoing macroeconomic conditions on customer demand, as well as political and economic uncertainty across certain markets in the region. The Asia Pacific region saw a Volume Point decrease for the second quarter of 2024 versus the 2023 period but saw a Volume point increase for the first half of 2024 versus the 2023 period which was led by the continued growth in our India market, the largest market in the region. Such growth was partially offset by declines in other markets in Asia Pacific, particularly Indonesia and South Korea. China saw a Volume Point decrease for the second quarter of 2024 versus the 2023 period but saw a Volume point increase for the first half of 2024 versus the 2023 period. This trend reflects, we believe, our Members’ ability to continue to adjust their business approaches to a confluence of factors, including changes and enhancements we have made for our business and external conditions.

During the first half of 2024, our regions introduced a new training and recognition program that encourages recruitment and activity of new distributors. Despite the decreases in new Members in many of our markets, we believe this new training and recognition program could have been a contributing factor to increases in our new distributors in many of our markets during the second quarter of 2024.

 

Presentation

Net sales” represent product sales to our Members, net of “distributor allowances,” and inclusive of any shipping and handling revenues, as described further below.

Our Members purchase product from us at a suggested retail price, less discounts referred to as “distributor allowance.” Each Member’s level of discount is determined by qualification based on their volume of purchases. In cases where a Member has qualified for less than the maximum discount, the remaining discount, which we also refer to as a wholesale commission, is received by their sponsoring Members. Distributor allowances may also vary by country depending upon regulatory restrictions that limit or otherwise restrict distributor allowances. We also offer reduced distributor allowances with respect to certain products worldwide.

For U.S. GAAP purposes, shipping and handling services relating to product sales are recognized as fulfillment activities on our performance obligation to transfer products and are therefore recorded within net sales as part of product sales and are not considered as separate revenues.

In certain geographic markets, we have introduced segmentation of our Member base into two categories: “preferred members” – who are simply consumers who wish to purchase product for their own household use, and “distributors” – who are Members who also wish to resell products or build a sales organization. Additionally, in certain markets we are simplifying our pricing by eliminating certain shipping and handling charges and recovering those costs within suggested retail price.

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 U.S. GAAP financial measure. 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 measures 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.

Our “gross profit” consists of net sales less “cost of sales,” which represents our manufacturing costs, the price we pay to our raw material suppliers and manufacturers of our products as well as shipping and handling costs, including duties, tariffs, and similar expenses.

While certain Members may profit from their activities by reselling our products for amounts greater than the prices they pay us, Members that develop, retain, and manage other Members may earn additional compensation for those activities, which we refer to as “Royalty overrides.” Royalty overrides are a significant operating expense and consist of:

royalty overrides and production bonuses;
the Mark Hughes bonus payable to some of our most senior Members; and
other discretionary incentive bonuses to qualifying Members.

Royalty overrides are compensation to Members for the development, retention and improved productivity of their sales organizations and are paid to several levels of Members on each sale. Royalty overrides are compensation for services rendered to us and, as such, are recorded as an operating expense.

In China, our independent service providers are compensated for marketing, sales support, and other services instead of the distributor allowances and royalty overrides utilized in our global Marketing Plan. The majority of service fees to China independent service providers are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Because of local country regulatory constraints, we may be required to modify our Member incentive plans as described above. We also pay reduced royalty overrides with respect to certain products worldwide. Consequently, the total Royalty override percentage may vary over time.

Our “contribution margins” consist of net sales less cost of sales, Royalty overrides, and service fees to our independent service providers in China, for the purposes of segment reporting specifically, as discussed further below and described in our Note 6, Segment Information, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

“Selling, general, and administrative expenses” represent our operating expenses, which include labor and benefits, service fees to China independent service providers, sales events, professional fees, travel and entertainment, Member promotions, occupancy costs, communication costs, bank fees, depreciation and amortization, foreign exchange gains and losses, and other miscellaneous operating expenses.

Our “other operating income” consists of government grant income related to China.

Our “other expense, net” consists of non-operating income and expenses such as gains or losses on extinguishment of debt.

Most of our sales to Members outside the United States are made in the respective local currencies. In preparing our financial statements, we translate revenues into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates. Additionally, the majority of our purchases from our suppliers generally are made in U.S. dollars. Consequently, a strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus a foreign currency can have a negative impact on gross profit and can generate foreign currency losses on intercompany transactions. Foreign currency exchange rates can fluctuate significantly. From time to time, we enter into foreign currency derivatives to partially mitigate our foreign currency exchange risk as discussed in further detail in Part I, Item 3, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Summary Financial Results

Net sales were $1,281.1 million and $2,545.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Net sales decreased $32.9 million, or 2.5%, and $20.7 million, or 0.8%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. In local currency, net sales increased 0.2% and 1.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. The 2.5% decrease in net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily driven by a decrease in sales volume, as indicated by a 6.0% decrease in Volume Points, a 2.7% unfavorable impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, and a 0.6% unfavorable impact of sales mix, partially offset by a 6.6% favorable impact of price increases. The 0.8% decrease in net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily driven by a decrease in sales volume, as indicated by a 4.8% decrease in Volume Points, a 2.1% unfavorable impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, and a 0.6% unfavorable impact of sales mix, partially offset by a 6.4% favorable impact of price increases.

Net income was $4.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, and $29.0 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Net income decreased $55.2 million, or 92.2%, and $60.2 million, or 67.5%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. The decrease in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was mainly due to $41.8 million higher selling, general, and administrative expenses, $19.3 million higher interest expense, net, $14.4 million lower gross profit, and a $10.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt in 2024 related to the April 2024 debt refinancing transactions; partially offset by $17.6 million lower income taxes and $14.4 million lower royalty overrides. The decrease in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was mainly due to $58.1 million higher selling, general, and administrative expenses, $10.1 million of other operating income in 2023 relating to government grant income for China versus none in 2024, $17.8 million higher interest expense, net, and a $10.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to the April 2024 debt refinancing transactions; partially offset by $15.2 million lower royalty overrides, $11.4 million higher gross profit primarily driven by price increases, and $9.7 million lower income taxes.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 included a $48.8 million pre-tax unfavorable impact ($33.1 million post-tax) of Restructuring Program expenses, primarily relating to employee retention and separation costs; $10.5 million pre-tax unfavorable impact ($7.9 million post-tax) of loss on extinguishment of debt related to the April 2024 debt refinancing transactions; $6.0 million pre-tax unfavorable impact ($6.1 million post-tax) of expenses relating to our new Digital Technology Program focused on enhancing and rebuilding our Member facing technology platform and web-based Member tools, and a $3.5 million pre-tax unfavorable impact ($3.0 million post-tax) of Transformation Program expenses, primarily relating to employee retention and separation costs.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 included a $65.5 million pre-tax unfavorable impact ($45.3 million post-tax) of Restructuring Program expenses, primarily relating to employee retention and separation costs; $17.0 million pre-tax unfavorable impact ($15.0 million post-tax) of expenses relating to our new Digital Technology Program focused on enhancing and rebuilding our Member facing technology platform and web-based Member tools; $10.5 million pre-tax unfavorable impact ($7.9 million post-tax) of loss on extinguishment of debt related to the April 2024 debt refinancing transactions, and a $9.4 million pre-tax unfavorable impact ($6.9 million post-tax) of Transformation Program expenses, primarily relating to employee retention and separation costs.

The income tax impact of the expenses discussed above is based on forecasted items affecting our 2024 full year effective tax rate. Adjustments to forecasted items unrelated to these expenses, as well as impacts related to interim reporting, will have an effect on the income tax impact of these items in subsequent periods.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 included a $10.1 million pre-tax unfavorable impact ($7.6 million post-tax) of Transformation Program expenses, primarily relating to employee retention and separation costs; and a $7.0 million pre-tax unfavorable impact ($6.5 million post-tax) of expenses relating to our new Digital Technology Program focused on enhancing and rebuilding our Member facing technology platform and web-based Member tools.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 included a $37.4 million pre-tax unfavorable impact ($28.9 million post-tax) of Transformation Program expenses, primarily relating to employee retention and separation costs; and a $10.5 million pre-tax unfavorable impact ($9.8 million post-tax) of expenses relating to our new Digital Technology Program focused on enhancing and rebuilding our Member facing technology platform and web-based Member tools.

Reporting Segment Results

We aggregate our operating segments, excluding China, into a reporting segment, or the Primary Reporting Segment. The Primary Reporting Segment includes the North America, Latin America, EMEA, and Asia Pacific regions. China has been identified as a separate reporting segment as it does not meet the criteria for aggregation. See Note 6, Segment Information, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion of our reporting segments. See below for discussions of net sales and contribution margin by our reporting segments.

Net Sales by Reporting Segment

The Primary Reporting Segment reported net sales of $1,199.4 million and $2,388.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, representing a decrease of $26.6 million, or 2.2%, and $21.9 million, or 0.9%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. In local currency, net sales increased 0.5% and 1.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. The 2.2% decrease in net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in sales volume, as indicated by a 6.2% decrease in Volume Points, a 2.7% unfavorable impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and a 0.5% unfavorable impact of sales mix, partially offset by a 7.0% favorable impact of prices increases. The 0.9% decrease in net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in sales volume, as indicated by a 5.2% decrease in Volume Points, a 1.9% unfavorable impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and a 0.8% unfavorable impact of sales mix, partially offset by a 6.9% favorable impact of prices increases.

For a discussion of China’s net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, see the China section of Sales by Geographic Region below.

Contribution Margin by Reporting Segment

As discussed above under “Presentation,” contribution margin consists of net sales less cost of sales, Royalty overrides, and service fees to our independent service providers in China. Also, as discussed in Note 6, Segment Information, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in the second quarter of 2024, the Company changed its presentation of this segment reporting measure for its China segment. Historical information discussed below has been adjusted to conform with the current period contribution margin. This change had no impact on the Company's accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income and only impacts the China contribution margin amounts discussed below and the operating information table in Note 6, Segment Information, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The Primary Reporting Segment reported contribution margin of $513.7 million, or 42.8% of net sales, and $1,014.9 million, or 42.5% of net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, representing an increase of $6.1 million, or 1.2%, and $24.8 million, or 2.5%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. The 1.2% increase in contribution margin for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily the result of an 11.6% favorable impact of price increases, partially offset by a 6.2% unfavorable impact of volume decreases, a 2.3% unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, and a 1.5% unfavorable impact of cost changes related to self-manufacturing and sourcing. The 2.5% increase in contribution margin for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily the result of an 11.4% favorable impact of price increases, partially offset by a 5.2% unfavorable impact of volume decreases, a 1.9% unfavorable impact of cost changes related to self-manufacturing and sourcing, a 1.5% unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, and a 1.5% unfavorable impact of sales mix.

China reported contribution margin of $27.9 million and $54.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, representing a decrease of $2.7 million, or 8.8%, and an increase of $2.1 million, or 4.0%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. The 8.8% decrease in contribution margin for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily the result of a 3.9% unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, a 2.8% unfavorable impact of sales mix, a 1.8% unfavorable impact of volume decrease as indicated by a decrease in Volume Points, partially offset by a 2.0% favorable impact of cost changes related to self-manufacturing and sourcing. The 4.0% increase in contribution margin for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily the result of a 4.6% favorable impact of volume increases as indicated by an increase in Volume Points and a 2.0% favorable impact of cost changes related to self-manufacturing and sourcing, partially offset by a 4.8% unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations and a 2.6% unfavorable impact of sales mix. As described in the China section of the Sales by Geographic Region below, if Volume Points were recognized consistent with the timing of when net sales are recognized in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the favorable impact of volume increases would have been 7.6%.

Changes in net sales are directly associated with the retailing of our products, recruitment of new Members, and retention of sales leaders. Our strategies involve providing quality products, improved DMOs, including daily consumption approaches such as Nutrition Clubs, easier access to product, systemized training and education of Members on our products and methods, leveraging technology to make it easier for our Members to do business, and continued promotion and branding of Herbalife products.

Management’s role, in-country and at the region and corporate level, is to provide Members with a competitive, broad, and innovative product line, offer leading-edge business tools and technology services, and encourage strong teamwork and Member leadership to make doing business with Herbalife simple. We continue to provide our Members with enhanced technology tools, which includes updated brand sites, for ordering, business performance, and customer retailing to make it easier for them to do business with us and to optimize their customers’ experiences. Management uses the Marketing Plan, which reflects the rules for our global network marketing organization that specify the qualification requirements and general compensation structure for Members, coupled with educational and motivational programs and promotions to encourage Members to increase retailing, retention, and recruiting, which in turn affect net sales. Such programs include sales events such as Extravaganzas, Leadership Development Weekends and World Team Schools where large groups of Members network with other Members, learn retailing, retention, and recruiting techniques from our leading Members, and become more familiar with how to market and sell our products and business opportunities. Accordingly, management believes that these development and motivation programs increase the productivity of the sales leader network. The expenses for such programs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. We also use event and non-event product promotions to motivate Members to increase retailing, retention, and recruiting activities. These promotions have prizes ranging from qualifying for events to product prizes and vacations. In a number of markets, we have segmented our Member base into “preferred members” and “distributors” for more targeted and efficient communication and promotions for these two differently motivated types of Members. In certain other markets that have not been segmented, we use Member data to similarly categorize Members for communication and promotion efforts.

DMOs are being generated in many of our markets and are globalized where applicable through the combined efforts of Members and country, regional and corporate management. While we support a number of different DMOs, one of the most popular DMOs is the daily consumption DMO. Under our traditional DMO, a Member typically sells to its customers on an infrequent basis (e.g., monthly) which provides fewer opportunities for interaction with their customers. Under a daily consumption DMO, a Member interacts with its customers on a more frequent basis, including such activities as weekly weigh-ins, which enables the Member to better educate and advise customers about nutrition and the proper use of the products and helps promote daily usage as well, thereby helping the Member grow his or her business. Specific examples of globalized DMOs include the Nutrition Club concept in Mexico and the Weight Loss Challenge in the United States. Management’s strategy is to review the applicability of expanding successful country initiatives throughout a region, and where appropriate, support the globalization of these initiatives.

The factors described above help Members increase their business, which in turn helps drive Volume Point growth in our business, and thus, net sales growth. The discussion below of net sales details some of the specific drivers of changes in our business and causes of sales fluctuations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same periods in 2023, as well as the unique growth or contraction factors specific to certain geographic regions or significant markets within a region during these periods. Net sales fluctuations, both Company-wide and within a particular geographic region or market, are primarily the result of changes in volume, changes in prices, or changes in foreign currency translation rates. The discussion of changes in net sales quantifies the impact of those drivers that are quantifiable such as changes in foreign currency translation rates, and cites the estimated impact of any significant price changes. The remaining drivers, which management believes are the primary drivers of changes in volume, are typically qualitative factors whose impact cannot be quantified. We use Volume Points as an indication for changes in sales volume.

Global inflationary pressures, supply chain challenges and other macroeconomic factors such as geopolitical conflict may impact both our cost structures and our pricing, with potential sales volume impact. However, given the unpredictable, unprecedented, and fluid nature of these factors, we are unable to predict the extent to which they will adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations, including the impact it may have on our regions and individual markets. We continue to examine our cost structure and assess potential incremental pricing actions in response to ongoing inflationary pressures which could impact our net sales and sales volumes. See below for a more detailed discussion of each geographic region and individual market.

North America

The North America region reported net sales of $283.2 million and $549.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Net sales decreased $20.4 million, or 6.7%, and $51.8 million, or 8.6%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. In local currency, net sales decreased 6.7% and 8.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. The 6.7% decrease in net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in sales volume, as indicated by a 13.1% decrease in Volume Points, partially offset by a 5.8% favorable impact of price increases. The 8.6% decrease in net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in sales volume, as indicated by a 14.5% decrease in Volume Points, partially offset by a 5.5% favorable impact of price increases.

Net sales in the U.S. were $275.3 million and $534.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Net sales decreased $20.0 million, or 6.8%, and $50.5 million, or 8.6%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023.

Sales volumes continued to decline for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the 2023 prior year periods. We continue to have fewer total number of new Members in the region during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year comparison periods. We are supporting Members with new product launches, a new training and recognition program, targeted communications and sales incentives, as well as modernizing our technological tools in order to enhance our Members’ ability to market and sell our products and promote business opportunities. Despite the total number of Members decreasing, we have seen increases in our new distributors during the second quarter and first half of 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023. The region implemented 3.0% price increases during March 2024. During 2023, the region implemented 3.5% price increases during March 2023 and September 2023.

Latin America

The Latin America region reported net sales of $211.7 million and $425.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Net sales increased $4.7 million, or 2.3%, and $13.4 million, or 3.2%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. In local currency, net sales increased 4.7% and 3.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. The 2.3% increase in net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was due to a 8.0% favorable impact of net price increases, partially offset by a decrease in sales volume, as indicated by a 2.1% decrease in Volume Points (3.5% decrease excluding the impact of the Volume Point adjustments noted above in the Volume Points by Geographic Region section), and a 2.4% unfavorable impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The 3.2% increase in net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was due to a 7.7% favorable impact of net price increases, partially offset by a decrease in sales volume, as indicated by a 4.0% decrease in Volume Points (4.8% decrease excluding the impact of the Volume Point adjustments noted above in the Volume Points by Geographic Region section).

Net sales in Mexico were $142.7 million and $283.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Net sales increased $4.2 million, or 3.0%, and $17.3 million, or 6.5%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. In local currency, net sales increased 0.1% and 0.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. The fluctuation of foreign currency exchange rates had a favorable impact of $4.1 million and $16.9 million on net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. To a lesser extent, a volume decline was seen for the second quarter and first half of 2024 versus the prior year. Macroeconomic conditions, such as a slowdown in the economy and prolonged high interest rates, have created challenges for Members’ and Members’ Nutrition Club operations, which continue to be an important DMO in the market.

During the second half of 2023 and in the first quarter of 2024, we experienced importation delays in Mexico as a result of the government delaying timely approval of importation permits which impacted certain of our inventory supply, which we believe adversely affected our net sales through the first quarter of 2024. To minimize the risk of disruption to our Mexico market, we continue to work closely with the Mexican government and during the second quarter of 2024, we have seen improvements as importation permits were timely received. The market saw a 5.25% price increase during March 2024. During 2023, the Mexico market implemented 2% and 5% price increases during June 2023 and January 2023, respectively.

Many markets across the region also saw volume declines for the six months ended June 30, 2024 versus the 2023 period. The sales volume declines in markets other than Mexico was greatest for Peru, Chile and Colombia for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same comparison period in 2023. The majority of markets in the region instituted price increases to address market-specific conditions during the first quarter of 2024. During the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to June 30, 2023, there were increases in volume for the majority of our markets in the region. During the second quarter of 2024, most markets within the Latin America region, excluding Mexico, implemented a 5% price reduction and Volume Point adjustments to enhance the competitiveness of our product pricing, aiming to stimulate incremental growth in volume and to increase our Members’ ability to promote the business opportunity. We believe these changes may have been a contributing factor for the increases in volume for many of the markets in the region during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

The region has seen difficult economic conditions as well as market-specific factors including political and social instability. Inflationary pressures, improving but remained elevated, and foreign exchange rate fluctuations in certain markets in the region have challenged our Members’ operations and customer demand. Promotional efforts within the region include increasing in-person activities, adding programs, supporting on a market-by-market basis the Nutrition Club DMO, utilizing segmented promotions and sales incentives, and launching new products.

EMEA

The EMEA region reported net sales of $287.8 million and $565.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Net sales decreased $1.8 million, or 0.6%, and increased $8.0 million, or 1.4%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. In local currency, net sales increased 3.5% and 4.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. The 0.6% decrease in net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in sales volume, as indicated by a 9.7% decrease in Volume Points, and a 4.1% unfavorable impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by a 12.7% favorable impact of price increases. The 1.4% increase in net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to a 12.6% favorable impact of price increases, partially offset by a decrease in sales volume, as indicated by a 7.4% decrease in Volume Points, and a 3.5% unfavorable impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The EMEA region has no single market that accounts for a significant portion of our consolidated net sales.

Volumes declined, across most EMEA markets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 versus the 2023 period. Economic conditions across the region, including inflation in certain markets, weakened consumer confidence, and foreign exchange rate fluctuations, as well as political uncertainty in certain markets appear to be further hindering business recovery. The volume declines across the EMEA markets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 versus the 2023 period were led by Spain, Türkiye, and Russia. Our Russia entity had no sales during the first half of 2024 due to the suspension of product shipments to our Russia entity where its inventory had been fully depleted as of September 30, 2023; therefore our Russia entity will not have any product sales in future periods while its inventory remains fully depleted. As a result, Russian Members purchasing products in Kazakhstan, among other neighboring markets, has led to increases in volume in Kazakhstan in previous quarters despite having decreases in volume during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year periods. During the third quarter of 2024, the Kazakhstan market is increasing its pricing that could negatively impact future sales in this market.

Focus areas for Herbalife and our Members in the region include promotions and events, launching new products, enhancing both online and in person training programs and meetings to help Distributors improve their business, supporting Nutrition clubs and other DMOs, and other promotional activities in order to grow our sales in the region. The majority of the markets in the region instituted price increases to address market-specific conditions during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Asia Pacific

The Asia Pacific region, which excludes China, reported net sales of $416.7 million and $847.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Net sales decreased $9.1 million, or 2.1%, and increased $8.5 million, or 1.0%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. In local currency, net sales increased 1.6% and 4.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. The 2.1% decrease in net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to a 3.7% unfavorable impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, and a decrease in sales volume, as indicated by a 1.9% decrease in Volume Points, partially offset by a 3.7% favorable impact of price increases. The 1.0% increase in net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to an increase in sales volume, as indicated by a 1.2% increase in Volume Points, and a 3.7% favorable impact of price increases, partially offset by a 3.2% unfavorable impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Net sales in India were $204.6 million and $408.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Net sales increased $15.2 million, or 8.0%, and $40.1 million, or 10.9%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. In local currency, net sales increased 9.7% and 12.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. The fluctuation of foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of $3.1 million and $5.1 million on net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Sales volumes have increased in India in recent years as we continue to promote our brand, such as through sports sponsorships, in-person events, introducing new product line for skin care, strengthening the Preferred Customer program and making it easier for our Preferred Customers to convert to Distributors in India. The India market had no price increase during the six months ended June 30, 2024. During 2023, the India market implemented a 4.5% price increase during November 2023.

Net sales in Vietnam were $62.9 million and $138.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Net sales decreased $3.2 million, or 4.8%, and increased $1.3 million, or 0.9%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. In local currency, net sales increased 2.7% and 6.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. The fluctuation of foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of $5.0 million and $8.2 million on net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The sales volume was flat for the three months ended June 30, 2024 versus the 2023 period but sales volume increased for the six months ended June 30, 2024 versus the 2023 period and was partially driven by, we believe, the comparison to a 2023 first quarter that included lower level of sales as a result of a January 2023 increase in the local value added tax rate which may have had an adverse impact to our net sales during the first quarter of 2023. Members’ Nutrition Club operations continue to be an important DMO in the market which management continues to support and monitor, and we believe, macroeconomic conditions in the market continue to create challenges. The market implemented a 3.5% price increase in March 2024. During 2023, the Vietnam market implemented a 3% price increase during March 2023. Further, changes to direct-selling regulations in the market were approved by local government in April 2023; we continue to work closely with Vietnam government and monitor these regulations and any impact they may have on our business in Vietnam.

Across most of the region’s other markets sales volume was down for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the 2023 periods, most significantly for Indonesia and South Korea. We continued to see a decline of new Members for some markets. In addition, as Members’ Nutrition Club operations continue to recover from macroeconomic conditions including inflationary pressure and high interest rates in certain markets that have also challenged some areas of customer demand. Our efforts in the region include programs and promotional initiatives to incentivize sales, and launching new products. Most markets in the region instituted price increases to address market-specific conditions during the first half of 2024.

China

The China region reported net sales of $81.7 million and $156.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Net sales decreased $6.3 million, or 7.2%, and increased $1.2 million, or 0.8%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. In local currency, net sales decreased 4.0% and increased 5.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. The 7.2% decrease in net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to a 3.2% unfavorable impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, a 2.8% unfavorable impact of sales mix, and a decrease in sales volume, as indicated by a 1.8% decrease in Volume Points. The 0.8% increase in net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to an increase in sales volume, as indicated by a 4.6% increase in Volume Points, partially offset by a 4.2% unfavorable impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, and a 2.6% unfavorable impact of sales mix. As described further above, Volume Points are generally recognized when a Member pays for an order, while net sales are generally recognized when product is delivered and when control passes to the Member or customer. If Volume Points were recognized consistent with the timing of when net sales are recognized in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the increase in sales volume for the six months ended June 30, 2024 would have been 7.6% as there was a more favorable timing difference between net sales and Volume Point recognition during the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. The China region had no price increase during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.

We believe our continued enhancement to our qualification requirements and promotion programs and training and recognition program have had a positive impact to our China market. The frequency and attendance of our and our Members’ in-person training and sales meetings, which are important to the business as they are a central channel for attracting and retaining customers, providing personal and professional development for our Members, and promoting our products, are stabilizing, but continue to be below pre-pandemic levels. Other focus areas for China include enhancing our digital capabilities and offerings, such as improving the integration of our technological and enhanced tools to make it easier for our Members to do business, encouraging a customer-based approach through customer loyalty programs to engage customers, and supporting Nutrition Clubs. We have expanded our product line for the China market and continue to conduct sales promotions in the region.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was $998.0 million and $1,012.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $1,977.3 million and $1,965.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 77.9% and 77.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, or a favorable net increase of 85 basis points, and 77.7% and 76.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, or a favorable net increase of 107 basis points.

The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 included the favorable impact of price increases of 155 basis points; and the favorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations of 13 basis points; partially offset by unfavorable cost changes related to self-manufacturing and sourcing of 56 basis points; the unfavorable impact of higher inventory write-downs of 9 basis points; unfavorable changes in sales mix of 7 basis points; and unfavorable other cost changes of 11 basis points.

The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 included the favorable impact of price increases of 152 basis points; the favorable impact of lower inventory write-downs of 25 basis points; and the favorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations of 14 basis points; partially offset by unfavorable cost changes related to self-manufacturing and sourcing of 69 basis points; unfavorable changes in sales mix of 4 basis points; and unfavorable other cost changes of 11 basis points.

Generally, gross profit as a percentage of net sales may vary from period to period due to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, changes in sales mix, price increases, cost changes related to inflation, self-manufacturing and sourcing, and inventory write-downs.

Royalty Overrides

Royalty overrides were $415.3 million and $429.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $830.5 million and $845.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Royalty overrides as a percentage of net sales were 32.4% and 32.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 32.6% and 32.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The decrease in royalty overrides as a percentage of net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same periods in 2023 was primarily due to favorable changes in mix of products and countries. Generally, royalty overrides as a percentage of net sales may vary from period to period due to changes in the mix of products and countries because full royalty overrides are not paid on certain products and in certain countries. In addition, the majority of service fees to our independent service providers in China are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses while Member compensation for all other countries is included in Royalty overrides which could also impact royalty overrides as a percentage of net sales.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $502.3 million and $460.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $994.5 million and $936.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 39.2% and 35.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 39.1% and 36.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The $41.8 million increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 was driven by $46.1 million in higher labor and benefits costs, $11.1 million in higher professional fees primarily from expenses related to the Digital Technology Program, partially offset by $8.9 million in lower Member event and promotion costs, and $5.3 million in lower advertising and sponsorship costs. The increase in labor and benefit costs includes higher expenses related to the Restructuring Program, higher employee bonus accruals, partially offset by lower expenses related to the Transformation Program.

The $58.1 million increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 was driven by $55.5 million in higher labor and benefits costs, $25.6 million in higher professional fees primarily from expenses related to the Digital Technology Program, partially offset by $12.7 million in lower Member event and promotion costs, $8.5 million in lower advertising and sponsorship costs and $5.6 million in lower foreign exchange losses. The increase in labor and benefit costs includes higher expenses related to the Restructuring Program and higher employee bonus accruals, partially offset by lower expenses related to the Transformation Program.

See Note 13, Restructuring Activities, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion.

Other Operating Income

We did not recognize any government grant income related to our regional headquarters and distribution centers within China during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

The $1.2 million of other operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 consisted of $1.2 million of government grant income for China (See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

The $10.1 million of other operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 consisted of $10.1 million of government grant income for China (See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

The increase in interest expense, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same periods in 2023 was primarily due to an increase in our weighted-average interest rate as a result of the April 2024 debt refinancing transactions described further in Note 4, Long-Term Debt, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Other Expense, Net

The $10.5 million of other expense, net for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 consisted of a loss on the extinguishment of the 2018 Credit Facility and the partial redemption of the 2025 Notes (See Note 4, Long-Term Debt, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

Income Taxes

Income taxes were $7.5 million and $25.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $17.2 million and $26.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective income tax rate was 61.5% and 29.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 37.2% and 23.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same periods in 2023, was primarily due to changes in the geographic mix of our income and an increase in tax expense from discrete events. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to changes in the geographic mix of our income, partially offset by an increase in tax benefits from discrete events.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically met our short- and long-term working capital and capital expenditure requirements, including funding for expansion of operations, through net cash flows provided by operating activities. Variations in sales of our products directly affect the availability of funds. There are no material contractual restrictions on our ability to transfer and remit funds among our international affiliated companies. However, there are foreign currency restrictions in certain countries which could reduce our ability to timely obtain U.S. dollars. Even with these restrictions and the current inflationary environment, which is improving but has remained elevated in certain markets during the first half of 2024, we believe we will have sufficient resources, including cash flow from operating activities and longer-term access to capital markets, to meet debt service obligations in a timely manner and be able to continue to meet our objectives.

Historically, our debt has not resulted from the need to fund our normal operations, but instead has resulted primarily from our share repurchase programs. Since inception in 2007, total share repurchases amounted to approximately $6.5 billion. While a significant net sales decline could potentially affect the availability of funds, many of our largest expenses are variable in nature, which we believe protects our funding in all but a dramatic net sales downturn. Our $374.0 million cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024 and our senior secured credit facility, in addition to cash flow from operations, can be used to support general corporate purposes, including any future strategic investment opportunities, share repurchases, and dividends.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we generated $116.3 million of operating cash flow as compared to $181.8 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease in our operating cash flow was the result of $62.6 million of lower net income excluding non-cash and reconciling items disclosed within our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The $62.6 million of lower net income excluding non-cash and reconciling items was primarily driven by higher selling, general and administrative expenses, a government grant income for China in 2023, and higher interest expense, net; partially offset by higher gross profit and lower royalty overrides (See Summary Financial Results above for further discussion).

Capital expenditures, including accrued capital expenditures, were $58.7 million and $64.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The majority of these expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2024 represented investments in management information systems, including initiatives to develop enhanced Member tools which includes our $400 million multi-year Digital Technology Program that is focused on enhancing and rebuilding our Member facing technology platform and web-based Member tools to provide enhanced digital capabilities and experiences to our Members, which we also refer to as Herbalife One. We expect to continue our investments in these areas and expect to incur total capital expenditures of approximately $120 million to $150 million for the full year 2024, which includes Herbalife One. Based on our estimates, we expect our total future capital expenditures to remain elevated during 2024 and 2025 as a result of Herbalife One, where we have incurred approximately $290 million of implementation costs relating to Herbalife One as of June 30, 2024. In addition, based on the Herbalife One implementation costs incurred thus far, we began to recognize non-cash amortization expenses during the first quarter of 2024 and continue to expect to recognize approximately $30 to $35 million of these non-cash amortization expenses within our full-year 2024 consolidated statement of income; thereafter, we expect to recognize similar amounts of non-cash amortization expenses which could vary depending on the total actual future Herbalife One related expenditures and the associated timing of future technology being available for deployment. The capital expenditures relating to Herbalife One, are separate to the Transformation Program described further below.

In March 2024, we hosted our annual global honors event where sales leaders from around the world met, shared best practices, and conducted leadership training, and our management awarded Members $74.9 million of Mark Hughes bonus payments related to their 2023 performance. In March 2023, our management awarded Members $77.9 million of Mark Hughes bonus payments related to their 2022 performance.

In 2021, we initiated a global transformation program to optimize global processes for future growth, or the Transformation Program. The Transformation Program involves the investment in certain new technologies and the realignment of infrastructure and the locations of certain functions to better support distributors and customers. The Transformation Program is expected to deliver annual savings of approximately $110 million with approximately $70 million of savings realized in 2023 and approximately $110 million of annual savings expected to be realized in 2024 and thereafter. We also expect to incur total pre-tax expenses of approximately $90 million to realize these annual run-rate savings. We have already incurred total pre-tax expenses of approximately $88.6 million through June 30, 2024, of which $3.5 million and $10.1 million were incurred in the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $9.4 million and $37.4 million were incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and recognized in selling, general, and administrative expenses within our condensed consolidated statements of income. In addition, we expect approximately $20 million of related capital expenditures through 2024, inclusive of the $17.3 million incurred from inception to date, primarily relating to technology, to support the Transformation Program. The Transformation Program is expected to be completed in 2024.

During the first quarter of 2024, we initiated a Restructuring Program to streamline our organizational structure to make it more efficient and effective and to allow our management team to work more closely to the markets, our distributors, and our customers. The Restructuring Program is expected to deliver annual savings of at least $80 million beginning in 2025 with at least $50 million of savings expected to be realized in 2024, where at least $10 million was already realized during the second quarter of 2024. We also expect to incur total pre-tax expenses of approximately $70 million relating to the Restructuring Program through 2024, of which $48.8 million and $65.5 million were recognized in selling, general, and administrative expenses within the condensed consolidated statement of income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. We expect to complete the Restructuring Program by the end of 2024. Since the Restructuring Program is still ongoing, these estimated amounts are preliminary and based on management’s estimates and actual results could differ from such estimates.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On August 16, 2018, we entered into a $1.25 billion senior secured credit facility, or the 2018 Credit Facility, consisting of a $250.0 million term loan A, or the 2018 Term Loan A, a $750.0 million term loan B, or the 2018 Term Loan B, and a $250.0 million revolving credit facility, or the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, with a syndicate of financial institutions as lenders.

49


 

Subsequently, the 2018 Credit Facility was amended in a series of amendments that, as of March 31, 2024, among other things, increased the borrowing capacity of the 2018 Term Loan A to a total of $286.2 million and the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility to a total of $330.0 million and establishing the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, for interest rate purposes under the 2018 Credit Facility. Borrowings utilizing SOFR under both the 2018 Term Loan A and 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, bore interest at, depending on the Company’s total leverage ratio and the Adjusted Term SOFR, which is the rate per annum equal to Term SOFR plus a rate adjustment based on interest periods of one month, three months, six months and twelve months tenors equaling to approximately 0.11%, 0.26%, 0.43% and 0.72%, respectively. The maturity date of both the 2018 Term Loan A and 2018 Revolving Credit Facility was March 19, 2025. The 2018 Term Loan B maturity date was August 18, 2025.

The 2018 Credit Facility required us to comply with a leverage ratio. The 2018 Credit Facility also contained affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of this type, including, among other things, limitations or prohibitions on repurchasing common shares, declaring and paying dividends and other distributions, redeeming and repurchasing certain other indebtedness, making loans and investments, incurring additional indebtedness, granting liens, and effecting mergers, asset sales and transactions with affiliates. In addition, the 2018 Credit Facility contained customary events of default.

On April 12, 2024, concurrently with the issuance of the $800 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes, or the 2029 Secured Notes, as described further below, we entered into the eighth amendment to the 2018 Credit Facility. The eighth amendment to the 2018 Credit Facility, among other things, refinanced and replaced in full the 2018 Credit Facility with, (i) a Term Loan B Facility, or the 2024 Term Loan B, with an aggregate principal amount of $400 million and (ii) a revolving credit facility, or the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility, with an aggregate principal amount of $400 million, collectively the 2024 Credit Facility. All obligations under the 2024 Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by certain direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Herbalife Ltd. and secured on a senior secured basis by the equity interests of certain of Herbalife Ltd.’s subsidiaries and substantially all of the assets of the domestic loan parties. Interest is due at least quarterly on amounts outstanding under the 2024 Credit Facility.

The 2024 Term Loan B Facility was issued to the lenders at a 7.00% discount, or $28.0 million, and we incurred approximately $10.3 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the 2024 Credit Facility. We may prepay the 2024 Term Loan B at a 102% premium at any time on or before the first anniversary, 101% premium following the first anniversary and on or prior to the second anniversary, and, solely in connection with a repricing event, at a 101% premium after the second anniversary but on or prior to the third anniversary, and generally at no premium thereafter. The 2024 Term Loan B requires quarterly payments equal to 5.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Term Loan B per annum, commencing in September 2024. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the 2024 Credit Facility, beginning in fiscal year 2025, the Company may be required to make mandatory prepayments towards the 2024 Term Loan B based on an excess cash flow calculation and consolidated leverage ratio as defined under the terms of the 2024 Credit Facility.

Proceeds from the 2024 Term Loan B together with the proceeds from the 2029 Secured Notes were used to repay indebtedness, including all borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Credit Facility, effectively terminating its $228.9 million outstanding principal balance on the 2018 Term Loan A, and repaying $584.3 million on the 2018 Term Loan B, $170.0 million on the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, and a portion of the 2025 Notes described further below. For accounting purposes, pursuant to ASC 470, Debt, these transactions were accounted for as an extinguishment of the 2018 Credit Facility. As a result, we recognized $981.0 million as a reduction to long-term debt representing the carrying value of the 2018 Credit Facility repaid in full in the second quarter of 2024. We also recognized a loss on extinguishment of approximately $2.5 million, as a result, which was recorded in other expense, net within our condensed consolidated statement of income during the second quarter of 2024.

Borrowings utilizing SOFR under the 2024 Credit Facility use Adjusted Term SOFR. The 2024 Term Loan B Facility matures upon the earlier of (i) April 12, 2029, or (ii) March 16, 2028 if the outstanding principal on the 2028 Convertible Notes, as defined below, exceeds $100.0 million and we exceed certain leverage ratios as of that date, or (iii) June 2, 2025 if the outstanding principal on the 2025 Notes, as defined below, exceeds $200.0 million on such date.

The 2024 Revolving Credit Facility matures upon the earlier of (i) April 12, 2028, (ii) December 16, 2027 if the outstanding principal on the 2028 Convertible Notes, as defined below, exceeds $100.0 million and we exceed certain leverage ratios as of that date, or (iii) March 3, 2025 if the outstanding principal on the 2025 Notes, as defined below, exceeds $200.0 million on such date.

The 2024 Credit Facility contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for financings of this type, including, among other things, limitations or prohibitions on declaring and paying dividends and other distributions, redeeming and repurchasing certain other indebtedness, making loans and investments, incurring additional indebtedness, granting liens, and effecting mergers, asset sales and transactions with affiliates. In addition, the 2024 Credit Facility contains customary events of default. The 2024 Revolving Credit Facility requires us to maintain a maximum total leverage ratio of 4.50:1.00 through December 31, 2024, stepping down to 4.25:1.00 on March 31, 2025 and 4.00:1.00 at September 30, 2025 and thereafter. The financial covenants also include a maximum first lien net leverage ratio of 2.50:1.00, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 2.00:1.00, and a minimum liquidity of $200 million of revolver availability and accessible cash. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we were in compliance with its financial covenants under the 2024 Credit Facility and 2018 Credit Facility, respectively.

We are permitted to make voluntary prepayments, subject to the premiums as discussed above. These prepayments, if any, will be applied against remaining quarterly installments owed under the 2024 Term Loan B in order of maturity with the remaining principal due upon maturity, unless directed otherwise by us. Pursuant to the terms of the 2018 Credit Facility excess cash flow clause and based on the 2023 excess cash flow calculation and consolidated leverage ratio as of December 31, 2023, as described and defined under the terms of the 2018 Credit Facility, we made a $66.3 million mandatory prepayment towards the 2018 Term Loan B during the first quarter of 2024.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we borrowed an aggregate amount of $988.5 million, including $788.5 million under the 2024 Credit Facility, which included $388.5 million of borrowings under the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility, and $200.0 million under the 2018 Credit Facility, all of which was under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, and repaid a total amount of $1,395.2 million, including $308.5 million on amounts outstanding under the 2024 Credit Facility, all of which was under the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility, and $1,086.7 million on amounts outstanding under the 2018 Credit Facility, which included $200.0 million of repayments on amounts outstanding under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility and a $66.3 million mandatory prepayment on amounts outstanding under the 2018 Term Loan B pursuant to the terms of the 2018 Credit Facility excess cash flow clause. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we borrowed an aggregate amount of $71.0 million under the 2018 Credit Facility, all of which was under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, and repaid a total amount of $145.5 million on amounts outstanding under the 2018 Credit Facility, which included $131.0 million of repayments on amounts outstanding under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the U.S. dollar amount outstanding under the 2024 Credit Facility was $480.0 million and 2018 Credit Facility was $886.7 million, respectively. Of the $480.0 million outstanding under the 2024 Credit Facility as of June 30, 2024, $400.0 million was outstanding under the 2024 Term Loan B and $80.0 million was outstanding under the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility. Of the $886.7 million outstanding under the 2018 Credit Facility as of December 31, 2023, $236.1 million was outstanding under the 2018 Term Loan A and $650.6 million was outstanding under the 2018 Term Loan B. There were no borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2023. In addition, as of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had an issued but undrawn letter of credit against the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility and 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, respectively, of approximately $45 million which reduced our remaining available borrowing capacity under the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility and 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. As a result of these outstanding borrowings and issued but undrawn letter of credit, as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the remaining available borrowing capacity under the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility and 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, respectively, was approximately $275 million and approximately $285 million, respectively. There were no outstanding foreign currency borrowings under both the 2024 Credit Facility and 2018 Credit Facility as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 the weighted-average interest rate for borrowings under the 2024 Credit Facility was 9.34% and as of December 31, 2023 the weighted-average interest rate for borrowings under the 2018 Credit Facility was 7.62%.

See Note 4, Long-Term Debt, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a further discussion on the 2024 Credit Facility, 2018 Credit Facility, and the refinancing thereof.

Senior Secured Notes due 2029

In April 2024, we issued $800.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2029, or the 2029 Secured Notes. The 2029 Secured Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by us and each of our existing and future subsidiaries that is a guarantor of the obligations of any domestic borrower under our 2024 Credit Facility. The 2029 Secured Notes pay interest at a rate of 12.250% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2024. The 2029 Secured Notes mature on April 15, 2029. The primary purpose of the issuance of the 2029 Secured Notes was to, along with proceeds from the 2024 Credit Facility, repay in full the 2018 Credit Facility and a partial redemption and private repurchase of the 2025 Notes. As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding principal on the 2029 Secured Notes was $800.0 million. See Note 4, Long-Term Debt, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a further discussion on our 2029 Secured Notes.

Convertible Senior Notes due 2024

In March 2018, we issued $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2024, or the 2024 Convertible Notes. The 2024 Convertible Notes were senior unsecured obligations which ranked effectively subordinate to any of our existing and future secured indebtedness, including amounts outstanding under the 2018 Credit Facility, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The 2024 Convertible Notes paid interest at a rate of 2.625% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2018. The 2024 Convertible Notes matured on March 15, 2024.

In December 2021, we made an irrevocable election under the indenture governing the 2024 Convertible Notes to require the principal portion of the 2024 Convertible Notes to be settled in cash and any excess in shares or cash. In December 2022, we issued $277.5 million aggregate principal amount of new convertible senior notes due 2028 as described below, and subsequently used the proceeds, to repurchase $287.5 million of our existing 2024 Convertible Notes from a limited number of holders in privately negotiated transactions for an aggregate purchase price of $274.9 million, which included $1.7 million of accrued interest. In August 2023, we repurchased $65.5 million of our existing 2024 Convertible Notes through open market purchases for an aggregate purchase price of $65.1 million, which included $0.8 million of accrued interest. During March 2024, we repaid a total amount of $197.0 million to repay in full amounts outstanding on the 2024 Convertible Notes upon maturity, as well as $2.6 million of accrued interest.

See Note 4, Long-Term Debt, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a further discussion on our 2024 Convertible Notes.

Convertible Senior Notes due 2028

In December 2022, we issued $277.5 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2028, or the 2028 Convertible Notes. The 2028 Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations which rank effectively subordinate to any of our existing and future secured indebtedness, including amounts outstanding under the 2024 Credit Facility, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The 2028 Convertible Notes pay interest at a rate of 4.25% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2023. Unless redeemed, repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date, the 2028 Convertible Notes mature on June 15, 2028. The primary purpose of the issuance of the 2028 Convertible Notes was to repurchase a portion of the 2024 Convertible Notes. As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding principal on the 2028 Convertible Notes was $277.5 million. See Note 4, Long-Term Debt, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a further discussion on our 2028 Convertible Notes.

Senior Notes due 2025

In May 2020, we issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2025, or the 2025 Notes. The 2025 Notes are senior unsecured obligations which rank effectively subordinate to any of our existing and future secured indebtedness, including amounts outstanding under the 2024 Credit Facility, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The 2025 Notes pay interest at a rate of 7.875% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on March 1, 2021. The 2025 Notes mature on September 1, 2025, unless redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The primary purpose of the issuance of the 2025 Notes was for general corporate purposes, including share repurchases and other capital investment projects. In April 2024, the Company redeemed $300.0 million of the 2025 Notes for an aggregate purchase price of $309.1 million, which included $3.2 million of accrued interest. Separately, in April 2024, the Company also repurchased $37.7 million of the 2025 Notes in a private transaction for an aggregate purchase price of $38.9 million, which included $0.5 million of accrued interest. As of June 30, 2024, the remaining outstanding principal on the 2025 Notes was $262.3 million. See Note 4, Long-Term Debt, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a further discussion on our 2025 Notes and the partial redemption and repurchase of a portion thereof.

52


 

Senior Notes due 2029

In May 2021, we issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2029, or the 2029 Notes. The 2029 Notes are senior unsecured obligations which rank effectively subordinate to any of our existing and future secured indebtedness, including amounts outstanding under the 2024 Credit Facility, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The 2029 Notes pay interest at a rate of 4.875% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2021. The 2029 Notes mature on June 1, 2029, unless redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The primary purpose of the issuance of the 2029 Notes was to repurchase the 2026 Notes as well as for general corporate purposes, which may include shares repurchases and other capital investment projects. As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding principal on the 2029 Notes was $600.0 million. See Note 4, Long-Term Debt, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a further discussion on our 2029 Notes.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The majority of our foreign subsidiaries designate their local currencies as their functional currencies. As of June 30, 2024, the total amount of our foreign subsidiary cash and cash equivalents was $358.6 million, of which $29.8 million was held in U.S. dollars. As of June 30, 2024, the total amount of cash and cash equivalents held by Herbalife Ltd. and its U.S. entities, inclusive of U.S. territories, was $15.4 million.

For earnings not considered to be indefinitely reinvested deferred taxes have been provided. For earnings considered to be indefinitely reinvested, deferred taxes have not been provided. Should we make a determination to remit the cash and cash equivalents from our foreign subsidiaries that are considered indefinitely reinvested to Herbalife Ltd. for the purpose of repatriation of undistributed earnings, we would need to accrue and pay taxes. As of December 31, 2023, Herbalife Ltd. had approximately $2.9 billion of permanently reinvested unremitted earnings relating to its operating subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2023, we do not have any plans to repatriate these unremitted earnings to Herbalife Ltd.; therefore, we do not have any liquidity concerns relating to these unremitted earnings and related cash and cash equivalents. See Note 12, Income Taxes, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2023 10-K for additional discussion on our unremitted earnings.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements except for those described in Note 4, Long-Term Debt, and Note 5, Contingencies, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Dividends

We have not declared or paid cash dividends since 2014. The declaration of future dividends is subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon various factors, including our earnings, financial condition, Herbalife Ltd.’s available distributable reserves under Cayman Islands law, restrictions imposed by the 2024 Credit Facility and the terms of any other indebtedness that may be outstanding, cash requirements, future prospects, and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.

Share Repurchases

On February 9, 2021, our board of directors authorized a three-year $1.5 billion share repurchase program which had approximately $985.5 million of remaining authorized capacity prior to the share repurchase program expiring on February 9, 2024. This share repurchase program allowed us, which included an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Herbalife Ltd., to repurchase our common shares at such times and prices as determined by management, as market conditions warranted, and to the extent Herbalife Ltd.’s distributable reserves were available under Cayman Islands law. The 2024 Credit Facility permits us to repurchase our common shares as long as no default or event of default exists and other conditions, such as specified consolidated leverage ratios, are met.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we did not repurchase any of our common shares through open-market purchases.

See Note 10, Shareholders’ Deficit, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for a further discussion on our share repurchases.

Working Capital and Operating Activities

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had working capital of $237.6 million and $121.7 million, respectively, or an increase of $115.9 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in prepaid expense and other current assets which included $33.8 million relating to the held for sale assets described further in Note 15, Subsequent Events, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, decreases in royalty overrides, and decreases in the current portion of long-term debt primarily from the repayment of the remaining $197.0 million balance of the 2024 Convertible Notes which matured on March 15, 2024 and a $66.3 million mandatory prepayment on the 2018 Term Loan B; partially offset by decreases in cash and cash equivalents, and inventories.

We expect that cash and funds provided from operations, available borrowings under the 2024 Credit Facility, and longer-term access to capital markets will provide sufficient working capital to operate our business, to make expected capital expenditures, and to meet foreseeable liquidity requirements for the next twelve months and thereafter.

The majority of our purchases from suppliers are generally made in U.S. dollars, while sales to our Members generally are made in local currencies. Consequently, strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus a foreign currency can have a negative impact on gross profit and can generate transaction gains or losses on intercompany transactions. For discussion of our foreign exchange contracts and other hedging arrangements, see Part I, Item 3, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Contingencies

See Note 5, Contingencies, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for information on our contingencies as of June 30, 2024.

Subsequent Events

See Note 15, Subsequent Events, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for information relating to our sale and leaseback of office building transaction that occurred during July 2024.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the year. We regularly evaluate our estimates and assumptions related to revenue recognition, allowance for product returns, inventory, goodwill and purchased intangible asset valuations, deferred income tax asset valuation allowances, uncertain tax positions, tax contingencies, and other loss contingencies. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of revenue, costs and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We consider the following policies to be most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing the financial statements and the uncertainties that could impact our operating results, financial condition and cash flows.

We are a nutrition company that sells a wide range of weight management; targeted nutrition; energy, sports, and fitness; and outer nutrition products. Our products are manufactured by us in our Changsha, Hunan, China extraction facility; Suzhou, China facility; Nanjing, China facility; Lake Forest, California facility; and Winston-Salem, North Carolina facility; and by third-party providers, and then are sold to Members who consume and sell Herbalife products to retail consumers or other Members. As of June 30, 2024, we sold products in 95 markets throughout the world and we are organized and managed by geographic region. We aggregate our operating segments into one reporting segment, except China, as management believes that our operating segments have similar operating characteristics and similar long-term operating performance. In making this determination, management believes that the operating segments are similar in the nature of the products sold, the product acquisition process, the types of customers to whom products are sold, the methods used to distribute the products, the nature of the regulatory environment, and their economic characteristics.

We generally recognize revenue upon delivery when control passes to the Member. Product sales are recognized net of product returns, and discounts referred to as “distributor allowances.” We generally receive the net sales price in cash or through credit card payments at the point of sale. Royalty overrides are generally recorded when revenue is recognized. See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for a further discussion of distributor compensation in the U.S.

Allowances for product returns, primarily in connection with our buyback program, are provided at the time the sale is recorded. This accrual is based upon historical return rates for each country and the relevant return pattern, which reflects anticipated returns to be received over a period of up to 12 months following the original sale. Historically, product returns and buybacks have not been significant. Product returns and buybacks were approximately 0.1% of net sales for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

We adjust our inventories to lower of cost and net realizable value. Additionally we adjust the carrying value of our inventory based on assumptions regarding future demand for our products and market conditions. If future demand and market conditions are less favorable than management’s assumptions, additional inventory write-downs could be required. Likewise, favorable future demand and market conditions could positively impact future operating results if previously written down inventories are sold. We have obsolete and slow moving inventories which have been adjusted downward $23.2 million and $24.2 million to present them at their lower of cost and net realizable value in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Goodwill and marketing-related intangible assets not subject to amortization are tested annually for impairment, and are tested for impairment more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.

Under the quantitative method for impairment testing of goodwill, which is done at the reporting unit level, we primarily use an income approach in order to determine the fair value of a reporting unit and compare it to its carrying amount. The determination of the fair value of the reporting units requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions include estimates of future revenues and expense growth rates, capital expenditures and the depreciation and amortization related to these capital expenditures, discount rates, and other inputs. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making these estimates, actual future results could differ. Changes in assumptions regarding future results or other underlying assumptions could have a significant impact on the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit over its fair value. During fiscal year 2023, we performed a quantitative assessment and determined that the fair value of each reporting unit was significantly greater than its respective carrying value.

Under the quantitative method for impairment testing of our marketing-related intangible assets, we use a discounted cash flow model, or the income approach, under the relief-from-royalty method to determine the fair value of our marketing-related intangible assets in order to confirm there is no impairment required. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their fair value. During fiscal year 2023, we performed a quantitative assessment of our marketing-related intangible assets and determined that the fair value of the assets was significantly greater than their carrying value.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had goodwill of approximately $91.5 million and $95.4 million, respectively. The decrease in goodwill during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was due to foreign currency translation adjustments. As of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had marketing-related intangible assets of approximately $310.0 million. No goodwill or marketing-related intangibles impairment was recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Contingencies are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 450, Contingencies, or ASC 450. ASC 450 requires that we record an estimated loss from a loss contingency when information available prior to issuance of our financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We also disclose material contingencies when we believe a loss is not probable but reasonably possible as required by ASC 450. Accounting for contingencies such as legal and non-income tax matters requires us to use judgment related to both the likelihood of a loss and the estimate of the amount or range of loss. Many of these legal and tax contingencies can take years to be resolved. Generally, as the time period increases over which the uncertainties are resolved, the likelihood of changes to the estimate of the ultimate outcome increases.

As part of the process of preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate prior to the completion and filing of tax returns for such periods. These estimates involve complex issues and require us to make judgments about the likely application of the tax law to our situation, as well as with respect to other matters, such as anticipating the positions that we will take on tax returns prior to us actually preparing the returns and the outcomes of disputes with tax authorities. The ultimate resolution of these issues may take extended periods of time due to examinations by tax authorities and statutes of limitations. In addition, changes in our business, including acquisitions, changes in our international corporate structure, changes in the geographic location of business functions or assets, changes in the geographic mix and amount of income, as well as changes in our agreements with tax authorities, valuation allowances, applicable accounting rules, applicable tax laws and regulations, rulings and interpretations thereof, developments in tax audit and other matters, and variations in the estimated and actual level of annual pre-tax income can affect the overall effective income tax rate.

We evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets by assessing the valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of such allowance, if necessary. Although realization is not assured, we believe it is more likely than not that the net carrying value will be realized. The amount of the carryforwards that is considered realizable, however, could change if estimates of future taxable income are adjusted. The ability to forecast income over multiple years at a jurisdictional level is subject to uncertainty especially when our assessment of valuation allowances factor in longer term income forecasts. The impact of increasing or decreasing the valuation allowance could be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 12, Income Taxes, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV, Item 15, Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules, of the 2023 10-K for additional information on our net deferred tax assets and valuation allowances.

We account for uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, or ASC 740, which provides guidance on the determination of how tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740, we must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.

Our policy is to account for global intangible low-taxed income as a period cost if and when incurred.

We account for foreign currency transactions in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters. In a majority of the countries where we operate, the functional currency is the local currency. Our foreign subsidiaries’ asset and liability accounts are translated for condensed consolidated financial reporting purposes into U.S. dollar amounts at period-end exchange rates. Revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average rates during the year. Our foreign currency translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses and foreign currency remeasurements are generally included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

New Accounting Pronouncements

See discussion under Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for information on new accounting pronouncements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks, which arise during the normal course of business from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. On a selected basis, we use derivative financial instruments to manage or hedge certain of these risks. All hedging transactions are authorized and executed pursuant to written guidelines and procedures.

We apply FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or ASC 815, which established accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. All derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair-value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the underlying hedged item are recognized concurrently in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income when the hedged item affects earnings. ASC 815 defines the requirements for designation and documentation of hedging relationships as well as ongoing effectiveness assessments in order to use hedge accounting. For a derivative that does not qualify as a hedge, changes in fair value are recognized concurrently in earnings.

A discussion of our primary market risk exposures and derivatives is presented below.

56


 

Foreign Exchange Risk

We transact business globally and are subject to risks associated with changes in foreign exchange rates. Our objective is to minimize the impact to earnings and cash flow associated with foreign exchange rate fluctuations. We enter into foreign exchange derivatives in the ordinary course of business primarily to reduce exposure to currency fluctuations attributable to intercompany transactions, translation of local currency earnings, inventory purchases subject to foreign currency exposure, and to partially mitigate the impact of foreign currency rate fluctuations. Due to volatility in foreign exchange markets, our current strategy, in general, is to hedge some of the significant exposures on a short-term basis. We will continue to monitor the foreign exchange markets and evaluate our hedging strategy accordingly. With the exception of our foreign currency forward contracts relating to forecasted inventory purchases and intercompany management fees discussed below, all of our foreign exchange contracts are designated as freestanding derivatives for which hedge accounting does not apply. The changes in the fair value of the derivatives not qualifying as cash flow hedges are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses within our condensed consolidated statements of income.

The foreign currency forward contracts and option contracts designated as freestanding derivatives are primarily used to hedge foreign currency-denominated intercompany transactions and to partially mitigate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. The fair value of foreign exchange derivative contracts is based on third-party quotes. Our foreign currency derivative contracts are generally executed on a monthly basis.

We also purchase foreign currency forward contracts in order to hedge forecasted inventory transactions and intercompany management fees that are designated as cash flow hedges and are subject to foreign currency exposures. We applied the hedge accounting rules as required by ASC 815 for these hedges. These contracts allow us to buy and sell certain currencies at specified contract rates. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the aggregate notional amounts of these contracts outstanding were approximately $72.1 million and $76.3 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding contracts were expected to mature over the next fifteen months. Our derivative financial instruments are recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value based on quoted market rates. For the forecasted inventory transactions, the forward contracts are used to hedge forecasted inventory transactions over specific months. Changes in the fair value of these forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges, excluding forward points, are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders’ deficit, and are recognized in cost of sales within our condensed consolidated statement of income during the period which approximates the time the hedged inventory is sold. We also hedge forecasted intercompany management fees over specific months. Changes in the fair value of these forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges, excluding forward points, are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders’ deficit, and are recognized in selling, general, and administrative expenses within our condensed consolidated statement of income during the period when the hedged item and underlying transaction affect earnings. As of June 30, 2024, we recorded assets at fair value of $3.2 million and liabilities at fair value of $0.4 million relating to all outstanding foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges. As of December 31, 2023, we recorded assets at fair value of zero and liabilities at fair value of $3.3 million relating to all outstanding foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges. These hedges remained effective as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

As of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the majority of our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts related to freestanding derivatives had maturity dates of less than twelve months with the majority of freestanding derivatives expiring within one month.

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2024, the aggregate annual maturities of the 2024 Credit Facility were expected to be $10.0 million for the remainder of 2024, $20.0 million for 2025, $20.0 million for 2026, $20.0 million for 2027, $100.0 million for 2028, and $310.0 million thereafter. As of June 30, 2024, the fair values of the 2024 Term Loan B, and 2024 Revolving Credit Facility were approximately $385.0 million and $80.0 million, respectively, and the carrying values were $366.9 million and $80.0 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the fair values of the 2018 Term Loan A and 2018 Term Loan B were approximately $236.1 million and $650.6 million, respectively, and the carrying values were $235.5 million and $648.2 million, respectively. There were no outstanding borrowings on the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2023. The 2024 Credit Facility bears variable interest rates, and as of June 30, 2024 the weighted-average interest rate for borrowings under the 2024 Credit Facility was 9.34% and the 2018 Credit Facility bore variable interest rates, and as of December 31, 2023 the weighted-average interest rate for borrowings under the 2018 Credit Facility was 7.62%.

58


 

Since our 2024 Credit Facility is based on variable interest rates, if interest rates were to increase or decrease by 1% for the year and our borrowing amounts on our 2024 Credit Facility remained constant, our annual interest expense could increase or decrease by approximately $4.8 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2024, the fair value of the 2029 Secured Notes was approximately $804.1 million and the carrying value was $765.6 million. The 2029 Secured Notes pay interest at a fixed rate of 12.250% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2024. The 2029 Secured Notes mature on April 15, 2029, unless redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The 2029 Secured Notes are recorded at their carrying value and their fair value is used only for disclosure purposes, so an increase or decrease in interest rates would not have any impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements; however, if interest rates were to increase or decrease by 1%, their fair value could decrease by approximately $26.6 million or increase by approximately $28.0 million, respectively.

On March 15, 2024, the 2024 Convertible Notes matured and were repaid in full. As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of the 2024 Convertible Notes was approximately $196.2 million and the carrying value was $196.8 million. The 2024 Convertible Notes paid interest at a fixed rate of 2.625% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2018.

As of June 30, 2024, the fair value of the 2028 Convertible Notes was approximately $258.6 million and the carrying value was $271.2 million. As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of the 2028 Convertible Notes was approximately $320.9 million, and the carrying value was $270.5 million. The 2028 Convertible Notes pay interest at a fixed rate of 4.25% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2023. Unless redeemed, repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date, the 2028 Convertible Notes mature on June 15, 2028.

As of June 30, 2024, the fair value of the 2025 Notes was approximately $257.9 million and the carrying value was $261.4 million. As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of the 2025 Notes was approximately $596.8 million and the carrying value was $597.1 million. The 2025 Notes pay interest at a fixed rate of 7.875% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on March 1, 2021. The 2025 Notes mature on September 1, 2025, unless redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The 2025 Notes are recorded at their carrying value and their fair value is used only for disclosure purposes, so an increase or decrease in interest rates would not have any impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements; however, if interest rates were to increase or decrease by 1%, their fair value could decrease by approximately $2.7 million or increase by approximately $2.7 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2024, the fair value of the 2029 Notes was approximately $420.9 million and the carrying value was $594.9 million. As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of the 2029 Notes was approximately $471.6 million and the carrying value was $594.5 million. The 2029 Notes pay interest at a fixed rate of 4.875% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2021. The 2029 Notes mature on June 1, 2029, unless redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The 2029 Notes are recorded at their carrying value and their fair value is used only for disclosure purposes, so an increase or decrease in interest rates would not have any impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements; however, if interest rates were to increase or decrease by 1%, their fair value could decrease by approximately $15.8 million or increase by approximately $16.6 million, respectively.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2024.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including any projections of earnings, revenue or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management, including for future operations, capital expenditures, or share repurchases; any statements concerning proposed new products, services, or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements of belief or expectation; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing or other future events. Forward-looking statements may include, among others, the words “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate” or any other similar words.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in any of our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results or outcomes could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and to inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Important factors that could cause our actual results, performance and achievements, or industry results to differ materially from estimates or projections contained in or implied by our forward-looking statements include the following:

the potential impacts of current global economic conditions, including inflation, on us; our Members, customers, and supply chain; and the world economy;
our ability to attract and retain Members;
our relationship with, and our ability to influence the actions of, our Members;
our noncompliance with, or improper action by our employees or Members in violation of, applicable U.S. and foreign laws, rules, and regulations;
adverse publicity associated with our Company or the direct-selling industry, including our ability to comfort the marketplace and regulators regarding our compliance with applicable laws;
changing consumer preferences and demands and evolving industry standards, including with respect to climate change, sustainability, and other environmental, social, and governance, or ESG, matters;
the competitive nature of our business and industry;
legal and regulatory matters, including regulatory actions concerning, or legal challenges to, our products or network marketing program and product liability claims;
the Consent Order entered into with the FTC, the effects thereof and any failure to comply therewith;

our ability to execute our growth and other strategic initiatives, including implementation of our restructuring initiatives, and increased penetration of our existing markets;
any material disruption to our business caused by natural disasters, other catastrophic events, acts of war or terrorism, including the war in Ukraine, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics, and/or other acts by third parties;
our ability to adequately source ingredients, packaging materials, and other raw materials and manufacture and distribute our products;
our reliance on our information technology infrastructure;
noncompliance by us or our Members with any privacy laws, rules, or regulations or any security breach involving the misappropriation, loss, or other unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information;
contractual limitations on our ability to expand or change our direct-selling business model;
the sufficiency of our trademarks and other intellectual property;
product concentration;
our reliance upon, or the loss or departure of any member of, our senior management team;
restrictions imposed by covenants in the agreements governing our indebtedness;

risks related to our convertible notes;
changes in, and uncertainties relating to, the application of transfer pricing, income tax, customs duties, value added taxes, and other tax laws, treaties, and regulations, or their interpretation;
our incorporation under the laws of the Cayman Islands; and
share price volatility related to, among other things, speculative trading and certain traders shorting our common shares.

Additional factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from our forward-looking statements are set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes, and in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the 2023 10-K. In addition, historical, current, and forward-looking sustainability-related statements may be based on standards for measuring progress that are still developing, internal controls and processes that continue to evolve, and assumptions that are subject to change in the future.

Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speak only as of the date hereof. We do not undertake any obligation to update or release any revisions to any forward-looking statement or to report any events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

See discussion under Note 5, Contingencies, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business, reputation, prospects, financial condition, operating results, cash flows, liquidity, and share price can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including those described in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the 2023 10-K. When any one or more of these risks materialize from time to time, our business, reputation, prospects, financial condition, operating results, cash flows, liquidity, and share price can be materially and adversely affected. There have been no material changes to our risk factors disclosed in the 2023 10-K.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

(a) None.

(b) None.

(c) On February 9, 2021, our board of directors authorized a three-year $1.5 billion share repurchase program which had approximately $985.5 million of remaining authorized capacity prior to the share repurchase program expiring on February 9, 2024. This share repurchase program allowed us, which included an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Herbalife Ltd., to repurchase our common shares at such times and prices as determined by management, as market conditions warranted, and to the extent Herbalife Ltd.’s distributable reserves were available under Cayman Islands law. The 2024 Credit Facility permits us to repurchase our common shares as long as no default or event of default exists and other conditions, such as specified consolidated leverage ratios, are met. We did not repurchase any of our common shares during the three months ended June 30, 2024.
