Mannatech Reports Financial Results for Third Quarter 2026
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
Mannatech (NASDAQ: MTEX) reported third-quarter 2026 net income of $8.9 million, driven primarily by a non-cash tax benefit rather than improved operations. Diluted earnings rose to $4.61 from $1.01 a year earlier. The $10.9 million tax benefit reflected remeasurement of deferred tax liabilities on unremitted foreign earnings and generated no cash.
Quarterly sales fell to $24.9 million from $29.2 million, operating income declined to $0.3 million from $2.0 million, and pre-tax results swung to an approximately $2.0 million loss from $2.5 million income. Gross margin fell to 74.7% from 76.4%. Cash declined to $5.4 million at September 30 from $6.2 million at year-end. Nine-month net income reached $10.9 million versus a $3.9 million loss. Following an October 14 internal restructuring, Nasdaq notified Mannatech on October 16 that it complies with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Sales, Gross Profit and Loss 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 (Loss) 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 third quarter and year-to-date 2026 Constant dollar net sales, gross profit and income from operations to GAAP net sales, gross profit and income (loss) from operations. (in millions, except percentages):

FAQ
AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.
What were Mannatech’s third-quarter 2026 earnings and sales?
Mannatech reported net income of $8.905 million, diluted earnings of $4.61 per share and sales of $24.872 million. A year earlier, net income was $1.924 million, diluted earnings were $1.01 per share and sales were $29.161 million. The quarter’s net income was driven primarily by a non-cash tax benefit.
Why did Mannatech record a non-cash tax benefit in third-quarter 2026?
The $10.9 million non-cash benefit reflected remeasurement of deferred tax liabilities on unremitted foreign earnings. It primarily involved withholding-tax liabilities associated with the Korean subsidiary, alongside similar liabilities in other foreign jurisdictions. The benefit generated no cash and did not reflect improved operating performance.
How did Mannatech’s October 2026 restructuring affect its financial position?
The internal restructuring completed on October 14, 2026 produced a non-cash remeasurement of deferred tax liabilities and a corresponding increase in consolidated shareholders’ equity. It generated no cash and did not affect net sales, cash flows or operating results. Nasdaq subsequently confirmed compliance with its minimum stockholders’ equity requirement.
How did currency translation affect Mannatech’s third-quarter 2026 sales?
Currency translation had no effect on third-quarter GAAP net sales compared with the same period in 2025. On a constant-dollar basis, which uses the prior year’s exchange rates, sales decreased $4.3 million, or 14.6%. These translation effects are distinct from the reported realized and unrealized foreign-currency losses.
