“The challenging operating environment in Asia Pacific and the strengthening U.S. dollar negatively affected our operating results in the third quarter,” said Kevin Guest, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. “COVID-related disruptions and challenging economic conditions resulting from those disruptions negatively impacted our results in several key Asia Pacific markets where city-wide lockdowns and other COVID restrictions persisted. This difficult operating environment has impacted our entire industry.”

Guest continued, “While we remain committed to our long-term business strategy, our team is evaluating and executing several short-term initiatives to regain momentum in our business. These initiatives include new and modified incentives in various markets and regions to make our overall incentive offering more rewarding and attractive to our sales force. They also include more targeted, relevant in-person communications amongst our management team and Associate leaders, as well as accelerating our return to live sales force meetings and events in markets where that is possible. In that regard, in August we held a successful 30th Anniversary Global Convention in Salt Lake City. The four-day event attracted 4,000 in-person and more than 50,000 virtual attendees. In-person gatherings of this nature, as well as smaller more targeted gatherings, have been, and will continue to be, invaluable in generating momentum for our business. Finally, we continued to make progress on our digital strategy during the quarter by improving our consumer online shopping experience and will continue to execute our digital strategy going forward.”

Balance Sheet and Share Repurchase Activity

The Company generated $29 million in operating cash flow during the third quarter and ended the quarter with $247 million in cash and cash equivalents, and debt-free. We did not repurchase shares during the quarter and, as of October 1, 2022, the Company had approximately $83 million remaining under the share repurchase authorization.

Fiscal 2022 Outlook

The Company is revising its net sales and earnings per share outlook for fiscal year 2022 as follows:

Fiscal Year 2022 Outlook

 

Revised Range

Previous Range

Consolidated Net Sales

$955 - $975 million

$1,015 - $1,065 million

Diluted EPS

$3.15 - $3.40

$3.85 - $4.45

“Third quarter top line results reflected the negative impact that macro- and local-economic factors had on our Active Customer counts in several of our key markets,” said Doug Hekking, Chief Financial Officer. “Additionally, we experienced greater than expected downward pressure from the stronger U.S. dollar both on net sales and operating margins.

“We are adjusting our fiscal 2022 outlook to reflect the lower Active Customer base at the end of the third quarter, along with continued expectations of COVID-related, inflationary and economic challenges in many of our markets. The revised guidance also incorporates our expectations that margins will continue to be pressured in the short- to mid-term.

“Despite the near-term disruptions, we remain committed to achieving our long-term strategic initiatives. We believe these initiatives will position USANA to deliver sustainable net sales and EPS growth over the long-term. Over the short-term, we are actively evaluating and implementing actions to minimize the impact of the macro-operating environment on our financial performance. Our balance sheet remains debt-free and we expect to generate operating cash flow of approximately $80 million in fiscal 2022.”

Management Commentary Document and Conference Call

For further information on the USANA’s operating results, please see the Management Commentary document, which has been posted on the Company’s website (http://ir.usana.com) under the Investor Relations section. USANA’s management team will hold a conference call and webcast to discuss today’s announcement with investors on Wednesday, October 26, 2022 at 11:00 AM Eastern Time.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company prepares its financial statements using U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Constant currency net sales, earnings, EPS and other currency-related financial information (collectively, “Financial Results”) are non-GAAP financial measures that remove the impact of fluctuations in foreign-currency exchange rates (“FX”) and help facilitate period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s Financial Results that we believe provide investors an additional perspective on trends and underlying business results. Constant currency Financial Results are calculated by translating the current period's Financial Results at the same average exchange rates in effect during the applicable prior-year period and then comparing this amount to the prior-year period's Financial Results.
