MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

Herbalife Nutrition reported second quarter net sales of $1.6 billion, a 15% increase compared to the second quarter 2020. This was the largest quarterly net sales result in Company history and reflects the Company’s growth strategy and demand for Herbalife Nutrition products.

“We delivered double-digit net sales growth for the fourth straight quarter,” said John Agwunobi, Chairman and CEO of Herbalife Nutrition. “All three of our core product categories grew double-digits, which includes the Energy, Sports and Fitness category, which increased 45% compared to the prior year.”

The demand for the Company’s full line of nutrition products contributed to double-digit growth in over 50 of the Company’s markets. In addition to the 45% growth in the Energy, Sports and Fitness category, the Company’s targeted nutrition category, which includes vitamins and supplements, grew by 19%, while the Company‘s core weight management product category grew by 12% in the quarter.

Five of the Company’s six regions experienced net sales growth with four of the regions increasing by more than 20%. In North America, net sales increased 7% compared to the second quarter of 2020. The Asia Pacific region had another quarter of substantial growth, up 38% compared to the prior year, led by India which grew 93% this quarter compared to Q2 2020. This growth was a testament to the Company’s distributors as pandemic conditions continued to impact the Asia Pacific region.

Additionally, reported net income for the quarter of $144 million increased 25% compared to the second quarter 2020. The company reported year-to-date net income of $292 million.

“Our second quarter adjusted EBITDA of $262 million was a record for the second quarter in a row, resulting in over $500 million of adjusted EBITDA generated during the first half of the year,” said Alex Amezquita, Chief Financial Officer, Herbalife Nutrition.

The Company is also seeing a higher interest in the business from young adults. Approximately two-thirds of new distributors and preferred customers who joined Herbalife Nutrition during the second quarter were millennials or Gen-Z.

The Company’s revised full year 2021 guidance calls for net sales growth to be in a range of 8.5% to 12.5%, lowering the midpoint by 150 basis points compared to prior full year 2021 guidance. The Company also updated full year 2021 adjusted³ diluted EPS guidance to a range of $4.70 – $5.10, increasing the midpoint by $0.05 compared to prior full year 2021 guidance. Agwunobi added, “We are initiating full year 2021 guidance for adjusted EBITDA³ of $875 million - $935 million, which highlights the ongoing profitability and underpins the cash flow generation of our business.”

¹ Adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. See Schedule A – “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a detailed reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and a discussion of why we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful.

² Second quarter 2021 results were impacted by China grant income of approximately $0.5 million, or $0.00 per diluted share and expenses related to the China Growth and Impact Investment Program of approximately $5.2 million or $0.04 per diluted share. Second quarter 2020 results were impacted by China grant income of approximately $3.3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share and expenses related to the China Growth and Impact Investment Program of approximately $2.3 million or $0.01 per diluted share. Second quarter 2020 adjusted results have been updated in Schedule A to no longer exclude China grant income.

³ Adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. See the “Outlook” discussion below and the related footnotes and Schedule A for additional information regarding adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted EBITDA guidance.

Second Quarter 2021 Key Metrics

Regional Net Sales and Foreign Exchange (“FX”) Impact

Region	Reported Net Sales 2Q’21 (mil)			Growth/Decline including FX vs. 2Q’20	Growth/Decline excluding FX vs. 2Q’20 (a)
North America	$	411.3		6.6%	6.2%

South & Central America excl. Venezuela (b)	$	86.3		23.2%	24.2%
Worldwide Total excl Venezuela (b)	$	1,551.8		15.2%	10.0%

^(a) Growth/decline in net sales excluding the effects of foreign exchange is based on “net sales in local currency,” a non-GAAP financial measure. See Schedule A – “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a discussion of why we believe adjusting for the effects of foreign exchange is useful.

^(b) Venezuela has been generally impacted by significant price increases and erosion in foreign currency exchange rates. Venezuela represents less than 1% of the Company’s consolidated net sales. See Schedule A – “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a discussion of why we believe adjusting for Venezuela is useful.

* Figure not meaningful due to significant foreign currency fluctuations in Venezuela and the price increases implemented as a result thereof that, when considered in isolation, have a disproportionately large impact on the Company’s South and Central American region and consolidated results. Amounts were 33.5% and 10.5% for South & Central America and Worldwide Total, respectively.

Currency Fluctuation in Guidance

• Guidance is based on the average daily exchange rates for the first two weeks of July 2021.
• For the third quarter 2021, net sales guidance includes a projected currency tailwind of approximately 200bps, adjusted^(a)(b)(c) diluted EPS guidance includes a projected currency tailwind of approximately $0.06 per diluted share, and adjusted^(a)(b)(c) EBITDA guidance includes a projected currency tailwind of approximately $8 million, all versus the third quarter 2020.
• For the full year 2021, net sales guidance includes a projected currency tailwind of approximately 220bps, adjusted^(a)(b)(c) diluted EPS guidance includes a projected currency tailwind of approximately $0.15 per diluted share, and adjusted^(a)(b)(c) EBITDA guidance includes a projected currency tailwind of approximately $20 million, all versus the full year 2020.
• Currency adjusted net sales, adjusted^(a)(b)(c) diluted EPS, and adjusted^(a)(b)(c) EBITDA represent projections translated into US dollars at currency rates equal to the average rates used to translate 2020 third quarter and full year net sales and diluted EPS and adjusted for items such as hedging gains/losses and Venezuela to be directly comparable to 2020 values. See our Company’s Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and Schedule A – “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a discussion of why we believe adjusting for the effects of foreign exchange is useful.

Share Repurchase in Guidance

• With respect to guidance, the Company cannot accurately predict the impact to its share base from any future share repurchases. Accordingly, any impact thereof is excluded from the guidance table above.

^(a) Excludes any future potential Venezuela currency devaluations and associated pricing and inflationary consequences.

^(b) Excludes the following items that cannot be accurately predicted: any future potential ongoing tax effects from the exercise or vesting of equity awards that could impact the Company's tax rate due to the stock compensation accounting standard, benefits from future potential China grant income, any future potential dilution from the Company’s convertible notes due in 2024, as well as any future impact of the China Growth and Impact Investment Program.

^(c) Adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted EBITDA guidance are non-GAAP measures and exclude potential charges or gains that may be recorded during the applicable period, such as, among other things, loss contingencies, gain/loss on debt extinguishments and refinancing, tax charges relating to tax law changes, net expenses related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and other unanticipated charges and event. The Company does not provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP Adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income, the comparable GAAP measure because the impact and timing of these potential charges and gains cannot be determined without unreasonable efforts due to their inherent historical variability, complexity, and unpredictability. These items, which are necessary for a presentation of the reconciliation to GAAP, could have a potentially significant impact on the Company’s GAAP results.

Supplemental Information

SCHEDULE A: RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(Unaudited and unreviewed), (All tables provide Dollars in millions, except per Share Data)

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA

In addition to its reported results and guidance calculated in accordance with GAAP, the Company has included in this release adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted EBITDA, performance measures that the Securities and Exchange Commission defines as “non-GAAP financial measures.” Adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted EBITDA exclude the impact of certain unusual or non-recurring items such as non-cash interest expense and amortization associated with the Company’s convertible notes, expenses related to regulatory inquiries and legal accruals, debt issuance costs and losses on extinguishment of debt, as further detailed in the reconciliations below. Management believes that such non-GAAP financial measures, when read in conjunction with the Company’s reported results, calculated in accordance with GAAP, can provide useful supplemental information for investors because they facilitate a period to period comparative assessment of the Company’s operating performance relative to its performance based on reported results under GAAP, while isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance and eliminate certain charges that management believes do not reflect the Company’s operations and underlying operational performance. The Company’s definition and calculation as set forth in the tables below of adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies because other companies may not calculate them in the same manner as the Company does and should not be viewed in isolation from nor as alternatives to net income or diluted EPS calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company does not provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income, the comparable GAAP measure, because the impact and timing of the potential charges and gains cannot be determined without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent historical variability, complexity, and unpredictability. These items, which are necessary for a presentation of a reconciliation to GAAP, could have a potentially significant impact on the Company’s GAAP results.

In addition, China grant income is no longer excluded from the Company’s adjusted results and prior period information has been updated to reflect the current period presentation.

Currency Fluctuation

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.

In addition, the impact of foreign currency fluctuations in Venezuela and the price increases the Company implements as a result of the highly inflationary economy in that market can each, when considered in isolation, have a disproportionately large impact to the Company’s consolidated results despite the offsetting nature of these drivers and that net sales in Venezuela, which represent less than 1% of the Company’s consolidated net sales, are not material to our consolidated results. Therefore, in certain instances, the Company believes it is helpful to provide additional information with respect to these factors as reported and excluding the impact of Venezuela to illustrate the disproportionate nature of Venezuela’s individual pricing and foreign exchange impact to the Company’s consolidated results. However, excluding the impact of Venezuela from these measures is not in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to the presentation and discussion thereof calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(1) Based on interim income tax reporting rules, these expenses are not considered discrete items. As a result, the Company's full year effective tax rate is impacted by these items. When applying the full year effective tax rate to year-to-date income, the Company's year-to-date tax provision recorded with respect to these non-GAAP adjustments is different from the forecasted full-year tax provision impact of these items. As a consequence, adjustments to the year-to-date and quarterly tax impacts will be recorded as the adjusted full year effective tax rate is applied to income in subsequent periods. Additionally, adjustments to items unrelated to these non-GAAP adjustments may have an effect on the income tax impact of these non-GAAP adjustments in subsequent periods. The Company plans to update the income tax impact of these items in subsequent interim reporting periods.
