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.

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.

Net leverage ratio 2.0x As of September 30, 2026
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA margin of 13.5%"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
constant currency financial
"net sales increased 7.6% year-over-year on a constant currency basis"
Constant currency is a way of measuring financial results that removes the effects of changes in currency exchange rates. It allows for a clearer comparison of a company's performance over time by showing what the numbers would look like if exchange rates had stayed the same. This helps investors understand whether growth comes from actual business improvements or just currency fluctuations.
net leverage ratio financial
"net leverage ratio of 2.0x"
The net leverage ratio measures how much debt a company has compared to its available assets or earnings, after accounting for its cash and liquid assets. It helps investors understand how heavily a company relies on borrowed money to finance its operations and growth. A higher ratio indicates greater financial risk, while a lower ratio suggests a more cautious approach to borrowing.
loss on extinguishment of debt financial
"Loss on extinguishment of debt"
Loss on extinguishment of debt is the accounting hit a company records when it retires or restructures a loan or bond for an amount that exceeds the debt’s recorded value—like paying more than the remaining balance to settle a loan early. It matters to investors because it reduces reported profit and can use cash, but may also cut future interest costs or signal financial stress; understanding it helps assess earnings quality and balance-sheet strength.
Net sales $1,350.2 million +6.0% year over year
Net income attributable to Herbalife $58.8 million Compared with $43.2 million in third quarter 2025
Adjusted EBITDA $182.4 million Adjusted EBITDA margin was 13.5%, up 70 basis points year over year
Diluted EPS $0.55 Up from $0.42 year over year

Management Commentary

 

Herbalife reported third quarter 2026 net sales of $1.35 billion, up 6.0% year-over-year, including 160 basis points of foreign currency (“FX”) headwinds, and primarily driven by increased sales volume. On a constant currency basis2, net sales increased 7.6% year-over-year for the quarter, led by Asia Pacific, up 26.1%, and Latin America, up 5.1%, with North America up 1.7%. This was the Company’s fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year net sales growth on both a reported and constant currency basis.

 

Gross profit margin was 77.3% in the third quarter, compared to 77.7% in the prior year period, primarily impacted by sales mix pressure and cost changes related to self-manufacturing and sourcing, partially offset by pricing benefits.

 

For the quarter, net income attributable to Herbalife was $58.8 million and adjusted net income1 of $68.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA1 of $182.4 million includes approximately $11.3 million of FX headwinds year-over-year, with adjusted EBITDA1 margin of 13.5%, up 70 basis points versus the third quarter of 2025. Diluted EPS was $0.55, with adjusted diluted EPS1 of $0.64, which includes a $0.06 year-over-year FX headwind.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $151.3 million and $298.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively. Year-to-date net cash provided by operating activities increased $63.0 million from $235.0 million in the prior year period. Capital expenditures were $18.5 million and $40.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and capitalized and prepaid SaaS implementation costs were approximately $14.5 million and $32.5 million, respectively. The Company expects to incur total capitalized and prepaid SaaS implementation costs of approximately $35 million to $45 million for the full year of 2026, which are not included in capital expenditures.

 

“Third quarter net sales and adjusted EBITDA both exceeded guidance, and adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 70 basis points year-over-year,” said Scott Schaefer, CFO. “Our April refinancing reduced net interest expense by $19.1 million year-over-year in the third quarter, strengthening our earnings and cash generation. This supports a disciplined and balanced approach to capital allocation, including continued debt reduction and the flexibility to return capital to shareholders through share repurchases.”

 

As of September 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $409.2 million, total debt of $2.0 billion and a net leverage ratio1 of 2.0x, compared to 2.2x as of June 30, 2026. In September, the Company announced a share repurchase program of up to $250 million over three years, which will be executed both systematically and opportunistically beginning in the fourth quarter. No shares were repurchased under the program during the third quarter.

 

Leadership Update

 

John DeSimone was appointed interim CEO and Scott Schaefer was appointed CFO, both effective November 1, 2026.

 

The Board committee overseeing the succession process, supported by an executive search firm, continues its search for the Company’s next Chief Executive Officer and will provide updates as appropriate.

 

“We delivered a fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year net sales growth, and we continue to expect net sales growth for the remainder of the year,” said John DeSimone, Interim CEO. “Our priorities are clear: disciplined execution, profitable growth, and a focused roadmap for our business opportunity and digital platforms with measurable success metrics.”

Supplemental Information

 

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

 

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Credit Agreement EBITDA and Net Debt

 

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, adjusted EBITDA and credit agreement EBITDA, performance measures that the Securities and Exchange Commission defines as “non-GAAP financial measures.” Adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA and credit agreement EBITDA are calculated as net income attributable to Herbalife excluding the impact of certain unusual or non-recurring items such as expenses related to restructuring initiatives, expenses related to the digital technology program, gains or losses from sale of property, gains or losses from extinguishment of debt and certain tax expenses and benefits, as further detailed in the reconciliations below. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company recognized $147.3 million of non-cash net deferred income tax benefits related to changes the Company initiated to its corporate entity structure, including intra-entity transfers of intellectual property to one of its European subsidiaries, which was excluded from adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS. A portion of these non-cash net deferred income tax benefits will reduce cash taxes paid and result in net deferred tax expense recognized in future periods. Beginning in the first quarter of 2025 and in future periods, the related net deferred tax effects will be excluded from adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Credit agreement EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for items permitted under the Company’s senior secured credit facilities.

 

Management believes that such non-GAAP performance 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.

 

Net debt is calculated as the aggregate outstanding principal amount of total debt less cash and cash equivalents. Management believes net debt is useful, when read in conjunction with the Company’s reported balance sheet, because it provides investors with information regarding the Company’s leverage profile, including its debt obligations that could not be repaid with cash and cash equivalents on hand. This measure is not meant, however, to imply that the Company intends to use all available cash to pay down debt.

 

The Company’s definitions and calculations as set forth in the tables below of adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, credit agreement EBITDA and net debt 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 attributable to Herbalife, diluted EPS or total debt, as applicable, calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

11

 

 

CONFIDENTIAL & PRIVILEGED

 

The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA or constant currency adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income attributable to Herbalife, and adjusted effective tax rate to GAAP tax rate, the comparable U.S. GAAP measures, because, due to the unpredictable or unknown nature of certain significant items, such as income tax expenses or benefits, loss contingencies, and any gains or losses in connection with refinancing transactions, the Company cannot reconcile these non-GAAP projections without unreasonable efforts. The Company expects the variability of these items, which are necessary for a presentation of the reconciliation, could have a significant impact on the Company’s reported U.S. GAAP financial results.

 

Currency Fluctuation

 

The Company’s international operations have provided and will continue to provide a significant portion of its 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 the Company’s 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, the Company also compares 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 the Company’s 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. The Company believes presenting net sales in local currency is useful to investors because it allows a meaningful comparison of net sales of its foreign operations from period to period. In addition, the Company presents adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, and is calculated by translating the current period adjusted EBITDA into U.S. dollars using the same foreign currency exchange rates that were used to translate such measure for the previous comparable period and adjusting for other FX related impacts. However, net sales in local currency and adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net sales and adjusted EBITDA, respectively, in U.S. dollar measures that reflect current period exchange rates, or to net sales and net income attributable to Herbalife calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

SCHEDULE B: RECLASSIFICATIONS

 

Reclassifications

 

Effective in the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company retrospectively separated selling expenses from selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income and combined those selling expenses with royalty overrides in the consolidated statements of income to simplify its financial statement presentation. Specifically, the Company’s Member compensation payments recognized as operating expenses, previously reported as royalty overrides, have been combined with the service fees to China’s independent service providers which were previously reported as selling expense within selling, general, and administrative expenses, and the two categories of expense are now collectively being presented in selling expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of income. As a result, $34.6 million and $105.6 million related to service fees to China independent service providers previously presented as selling, general, and administrative expenses and all amounts previously presented as royalty overrides were collectively reclassified to selling expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.

 

As a result of the above, the Member compensation previously reported as royalty overrides within the operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows is now presented as Member compensation liabilities. In addition, $0.7 million of cash outflows related to service fees to China independent service providers were reclassified from other current liabilities to Member compensation liabilities within the Company’s cash flows from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

 

These reclassifications did not impact the amounts of the prior period total assets, total liabilities, operating income, net income attributable to Herbalife, and net cash provided by operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, and did not impact the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ deficit.
