Mannatech Reports Financial Results for Second Quarter 2024

FLOWER MOUND, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Mannatech, Incorporated (NASDAQ: MTEX), ("Mannatech" or "Company"), global health and wellness company committed to transforming lives to make a better world, today announced financial results for its second quarter of 2024.

Second Quarter Highlights

• Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 were $27.7 million, as compared to $32.6 million for the same period in 2023, a decrease of $4.9 million, or 14.9%. On a Constant dollar basis (see Non-GAAP Measures, below) our net sales decreased $4.2 million, or 12.9%, and unfavorable foreign exchange caused a $0.7 million decrease in GAAP net sales as compared to the same period in 2023. The decline in revenues was principally due to supply chain constraints, items on back order, and some weakening of economic conditions in Asia.
• Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 77.1% for three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to 78.5% for the same period in 2023, some of the increase in costs were related to increased freight costs related to back ordered items and running some sales promotions on products thereby reducing our margin.
• Commission expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by 12.5%, or $1.6 million, to $11.1 million, as compared to $12.7 million for the same period in 2023. Commissions are earned from sales. Commission expenses in dollar terms decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to a decline in our sales. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, commissions as a percentage of net sales increased to 40.0% from 38.9% for the same period in 2023. The increase in commissions was due partially to running promotions on our products.
• For the three months ended June 30, 2024, selling and administrative expenses decreased by $2.2 million, or 17.0%, to $10.9 million, as compared to $13.1 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease in selling and administrative expenses was the result of a $0.9 million reduction in payroll costs, a $0.7 million decrease in legal and consulting fees, a $0.3 million decrease in travel and entertainment costs, a $0.2 million decrease in marketing costs and a $0.1 million decrease in office expenses. Selling and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased to 39.1% from 40.1% for the same period in 2023.
• Loss from operations was $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $1.0 million in the same period last year. On a Constant dollar basis (see Non-GAAP Measures, below), the loss from operations was unfavorably affected by $0.1 million due to foreign exchange. Weaker than expected economic conditions in the Asian markets led to reduced recruiting and lower sales per Associate during the quarter, which caused a reduction to net sales of $3.4 million. Supply chain challenges in the Americas drove a $1.1 million decrease in net sales in the Americas during the quarter.
• Due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar and dissolution of an entity, foreign exchange gains were $1.1 million the three months ended June 30, 2024. This included a one-time gain of $0.2 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 attributable to the liquidation of the Company’s entity in Sweden.
• Income tax expense was $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $0.3 million in the same period last year.
• Net loss was $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, or $0.33 per diluted share, as compared to $1.1 million, or $0.59 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
• As of June 30, 2024, the company's cash and cash equivalents increased 18.9%, or $1.5 million, to $9.2 million from $7.7 million as of December 31, 2023. Cash used in operations was $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2023. Acquisition of property and equipment decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2024, to $0.1 million compared to $0.4 million for the same period in 2023. Financing activities provided $3.1 million of cash during the quarter ended June 30, 2024. This increase consisted of $3.6 million in gross loan proceeds and use of $0.5 million for the repayment of finance lease obligations and other long-term liabilities. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, $1.3 million was used related to payments for dividends of $0.7 million, repurchase of common stock of $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the repayment of lease obligations and other long-term liabilities. Additionally, foreign exchange effects reduced cash position $0.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1.5 million in the same period in 2023.
• The approximate number of new and continuing independent associate and preferred customer positions held by individuals in Mannatech’s network and associated with purchases of its packs or products as of June 30, 2024 and 2023 remained constant at approximately 142,000 as our Associate attrition rate decreased by 21%. Recruiting new associates and preferred customers decreased 13.6% in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the second quarter of 2023.

Landen Fredrick, President and CEO, stated, “We are a multinational company and therefore we are subject to fluctuations in the value of the U.S. Dollar versus other currencies in the countries we operate. Although we recorded a second quarter loss in 2024, we recorded an overall gain in the first six months of 2024. The gain was, in part, a result of a second quarter $1.1 million foreign exchange gain, reflected in “Other Income” in our Statement of Operations. This gain in the second quarter, coupled with our $0.9 million foreign exchange gain in the first quarter of 2024 contributed to the net income for the six months ended 2024 of $0.6 million.”

Mr. Fredrick continued, “Demand remained weak in the second quarter across our world-wide operations but was most pronounced in our Asia/Pacific region where economic conditions have not improved.”

Mr. Fredrick concluded, “We see continued economic challenges for the remainder of 2024, however, we remain committed to increasing our revenues through increasing the number of our sales associates and preferred customers while maintaining disciplined cost controls.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Sales, Gross Profit and Income from Operations in Constant Dollars)

To supplement its financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), Mannatech discloses operating results that have been adjusted to exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, including changes in: Net Sales, Gross Profit, and Income from Operations. It refers to these adjusted financial measures as Constant dollar items, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The company believes these measures provide investors with an additional perspective on trends. To exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, it calculates current year results and prior year results at a constant exchange rate, which is the prior year’s rate. Currency impact is determined as the difference between the actual GAAP results and the recalculated results for the current year at the Constant dollar rates.

The tables below reconcile second quarter 2024 and year-to-date Constant dollar net sales, gross profit and income from operations to GAAP net sales, gross profit and income from operations. (in millions, except percentages):
