LEHI, Utah, Aug. 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nature’s Sunshine Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: NATR), a leading natural health and wellness company engaged in the manufacture and direct selling of nutritional and personal care products, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.
Management Commentary
“We generated strong second quarter sales growth compared to the prior year period, which combined with our focus on cost controls led to improvement in both net income and EBITDA compared to the prior year,” commented Gregory L. Probert, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Sales growth was driven by continued positive trends in Synergy Asia Pacific, NSP Russia, Central and Eastern Europe and NSP China, with a moderated rate of decline in NSP Americas. We are pleased with the continued momentum in Korea, which drove the majority of the growth in Synergy Asia Pacific. Additionally, in China, we dedicated management resources to increasing the engagement of our independent service providers over the past several months and are pleased with the sequential and year over year sales growth generated during the quarter. We still remain early in the development of our direct selling operations in China and will continue to focus on broadening our leadership and driving a long-term growth opportunity in this promising market.”

Net sales of $91.3 million increased 12.2 percent compared to $81.3 million in the second quarter of 2017. On a local currency basis, net sales increased 9.6 percent compared to 2017. Growth was primarily related to continued growth in Synergy Asia Pacific, NSP Russia, Central and Eastern Europe and NSP China, offset by a $1.0 million decline in net sales in NSP Americas and a $1.0 million decline in Synergy Europe. Net sales were also positively impacted by $2.1 million of favorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Gross margin, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 73.4 percent from 73.9 percent in the second quarter of 2017. The decrease in gross margin as compared to the prior year was primarily driven by changes in market mix and provisions for inventory obsolescence.
Volume incentives, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 34.5 percent from 34.8 percent in the second quarter of 2017. The decrease in volume incentives as a percent of net sales is primarily due to changes in market mix, reflecting growth in markets where volume incentives as a percentage of net sales are lower than the consolidated average, partially offset by growth in NSP China where sales commissions to independent service providers are included in selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”).
SG&A expenses increased by approximately $1.5 million to $33.3 million for the second quarter of 2018. The increase in SG&A expenses is primarily due to transition costs related to the announced retirement of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the timing of accrued employee benefits and the increase in independent service fees from the Company’s growth in China, which were partially offset by a gain on the sale of a Company building. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 36.5 percent, compared to 39.1 percent for the same period in 2017.
Operating income in the second quarter of 2018 was $2.2 million, or 2.4 percent as a percentage of net sales, as compared to break even in the second quarter of 2017.
Other income (loss), net, in the second quarter of 2018 decreased to a loss of $1.8 million compared to income of $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2017. The effective income tax rate was 116.4 percent in the second quarter of 2018 compared to 190.5 percent in the second quarter of 2017.
Net income attributable to common shareholders was $0.1 million, or de minimis per diluted common share, compared to a loss of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per common share, in 2017. The net loss attributable to NSP China was $0.6 million, or $0.03 per diluted common share for the quarter, compared to $1.2 million, or $0.06 per common share for the second quarter of 2017.
Adjusted EBITDA was $5.2 million, compared to $3.1 million in 2017. Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined here as net income/loss from continuing operations before taxes, depreciation, amortization and other income/loss adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense. A reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA is provided in the attached financial tables.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company has included information which has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), such as information concerning Adjusted EBITDA and net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. Management utilizes the non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA in the evaluation of its operations and believes that this measure is a useful indicator of the Company’s ability to fund its business. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, U.S. GAAP net income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance. Moreover, Adjusted EBITDA, as presented by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
In addition, the Company believes presenting the impact of foreign currency fluctuations is useful to investors because it allows a more meaningful comparison of net sales of its foreign operations from period to period. Net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations 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.
Other companies may use the same or similarly named measures, but exclude different items, which may not provide investors with a comparable view of Nature’s Sunshine Products’ performance in relation to other companies. The Company has included a reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA, the most comparable GAAP measure, in the attached financial tables.
