Management Commentary

Herbalife reported third quarter 2023 net sales of $1.3 billion, down 1.1% year-over-year, marking the third consecutive quarter of improved year-over-year net sales trends. On a constant currency basis1, net sales declined 1.5% year-over-year.

Third quarter gross profit margin was 76.3%, down 170 basis points year-over-year, primarily due to the benefit of approximately 160 basis points of pricing and approximately 40 basis points for lower inventory write-downs more than offset by continued headwinds from input cost inflation of approximately 290 basis points, unfavorable sales mix of approximately 30 basis points and unfavorable foreign currency of approximately 30 basis points. Third quarter net income was $42.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA2 of $163.3 million includes approximately $2 million of foreign currency headwinds year-over-year, with adjusted EBITDA margin of 12.7%. Diluted EPS was $0.43, with adjusted diluted EPS2 of $0.65, which includes a $0.02 year-over-year foreign currency headwind.

Company and distributor-led events continued to gain momentum during the third quarter, with approximately 50,000 distributors attending Extravaganza training events in the U.S., Kazakhstan, Poland, Mexico and Brazil. Initiatives that promote a healthy active lifestyle continue to be the driver behind many distributor-led events, as well as the Company’s new year-long global #ImWithYou campaign, which launched in mid-September. The goal of the campaign is to bring more people together through mega workouts to raise product awareness, attract more customers, build bigger communities and help distributors grow their businesses.

During September and October, the Company continued to deliver on its growth strategy, launching four innovative products that it believes will resonate in local markets and align with consumer trends and preferences:

  • Night Mode – a night-time product promoting sleep quality; available in select markets in EMEA
  • OnActive® Drink – a product developed specifically for adults over the age of 40 to support vision, muscle, bone and immune health; available in Brazil
  • Beverage Enhancers – powder drink mixes popular in U.S. nutrition clubs; launched for use in Mexico
  • Golden Beverage – a turmeric drink that supports muscle recovery and joint health; available in Bolivia, Ecuador and Colombia

Herbalife One, the Company’s new, fully integrated, modernized digital technology platform, achieved a key milestone during the quarter with the launch of the all-new Herbalife.com website in Singapore, incorporating the new brand image. The Company remains on track to launch the new website in approximately 40 additional markets that represent approximately 80% of the Company’s sales, by the end of 2023.

“We are seeing signs of success and we are delivering on our commitments – from Herbalife One and product innovation to how we support our distributors’ businesses,” said Chairman and CEO, Michael Johnson. “Our momentum is building steadily as we continue to evolve and transform Herbalife. More work is ahead of us, and we believe we are on a path to achieve sustainable growth.”

The Company implemented further actions related to its Transformation Program, which was initiated in 2021 to strategically optimize global business processes. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized pre-tax expenses of approximately $5 million in SG&A related to the program, which are excluded from the adjusted results. The Company expects to incur total program pre-tax expenses of at least $75 million, of which $67 million has been incurred to date. Based on the Company’s actions to date, it expects to deliver total program run rate savings of at least $90 million in 2024 and beyond. The Company now anticipates at least $60 million of these cost savings will be realized in 2023 (up from more than $45 million), of which approximately $20 million and $43 million was realized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.


During the third quarter, the Company repurchased $65.5 million of its 2024 Convertible Notes through open market purchases for an aggregate purchase price of $65.1 million, which included $0.8 million of accrued interest. As of September 30, 2023, the remaining outstanding principal on the 2024 Convertible Notes was $197.0 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, capital expenditures, including the digital technology platform, were approximately $100 million. We expect to incur total capital expenditures of approximately $120 million to $160 million for the full year of 2023.

“We delivered our third consecutive quarter of improved year-over-year net sales trends and took further strategic actions to reduce our cost structure and further secure our balance sheet,” said Chief Financial Officer, Alex Amezquita. “We are optimistic the initiatives we have implemented are taking root and will translate into improved future profitability.”

1 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.

2 Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted EPS 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 U.S. GAAP measure, and a discussion of why we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful.

Supplemental Information

SCHEDULE A: RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (unaudited)

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA

In addition to its reported results calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company has included in this release adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS 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 net expenses related to COVID-19 pandemic, expenses related to Transformation Program, expenses related to digital technology program, charges related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, gain from extinguishment of debt and Korea tax settlement, as further detailed in the reconciliations below. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.

Management believes that such non-GAAP financial measures, when read in conjunction with the Company’s reported results, calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, can provide useful supplemental information for investors because they facilitate a period to period comparative assessment of the Company’s operating performance relative to its performance based on reported results under U.S. GAAP, while isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance and eliminate certain charges that management believes do not reflect the Company’s operations and underlying operational performance. The Company’s definition and calculation as set forth in the tables below of adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS 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 U.S. GAAP.

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 measure presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Net sales in local currency removes from net sales in U.S. dollars the impact of changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the local currencies of 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 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.
