6 terms
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA(2) of $28.4 million versus $29.8 million."
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.
Adjusted diluted EPS financial
"Adjusted diluted EPS(1) of $0.61 as compared with $0.73."
Adjusted diluted EPS is a company’s profit per share after adding back or removing one-time items (like restructuring costs or gains) and dividing by the number of shares including potential shares from options and convertible securities. Investors use it as a cleaner view of ongoing earnings—like looking at a car’s regular fuel efficiency rather than a trip boosted by downhill coasting—to judge underlying performance and compare companies without temporary distortions.
non-GAAP financial measures financial
"This press release contains the non-GAAP financial measures Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted diluted EPS."
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
Brand Partner incentives financial
"Brand Partner incentives decreased 70 basis points from the prior year to 35.4% of net sales on a consolidated basis."
redeemable noncontrolling interest financial
"Less: Net (loss) earnings attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest | (556)"
A redeemable noncontrolling interest is a minority ownership stake in a business that the minority owner can require to be bought back for cash or that must be redeemed under set conditions. Investors care because it is not permanent equity: it represents a foreseeable cash obligation and can reduce the parent company’s reported equity and available cash, much like a loan from a roommate you must repay on request rather than shared ownership of the house.
effective tax rate financial
"Based on current projections, a 55% to 60% effective tax rate is expected for FY 2026."
The effective tax rate is the percentage of a company's profits that it pays in taxes. It shows how much of its earnings go to taxes after all deductions and credits are considered. For investors, it indicates how much of the company's income is taken by taxes, impacting overall profitability and financial health.

“Our first quarter 2026 results reflect USANA’s continued evolution from a single-channel direct sales business to a diversified, omnichannel health and wellness enterprise," said Kevin Guest, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our omnichannel platform is intended to provide multiple growth engines, and early progress across our three segments reinforces confidence that our strategy will deliver sustained incremental value over time. The Core Nutritional business delivered solid sequential improvement during the quarter, driven by growth in total active customers in China in addition to continued focus on accelerating our new product launch initiatives. Meanwhile, Hiya established the operational foundation for a meaningfully stronger second half of the year and Rise Wellness generated triple-digit growth as Protein Pop hit Costco shelves nationwide.
“As we look ahead, the investments we are making today in product innovation, brand building, channel expansion, and technology modernization reinforce confidence in our strategic direction. These investments position us to compete effectively across the full spectrum of health-conscious consumer shopping preferences. We are committed to advancing our omnichannel strategy with urgency and discipline."

was driven by strong performance by Rise Wellness, particularly from the fulfillment of orders with key retailers.
The Company did not repurchase any shares during the quarter and has approximately $34 million remaining under the current share repurchase authorization as of the end of the first quarter.
Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook

“Consolidated first quarter operating results reflected meaningful sequential top line improvement, driven by total active customer growth in China in our Core Nutritional business and the fulfillment of Rise Wellness orders. We delivered adjusted EBITDA of $28.4 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.61, demonstrating that we are funding the growth of our omnichannel portfolio from a position of financial strength,” said Doug Hekking, Chief Financial Officer. "Our balance sheet remains healthy with $163 million in cash, providing the flexibility to continue executing our strategic priorities. We are also making progress on our technology modernization initiative, which we are funding primarily through repurposing existing resources as well as savings from operational efficiencies, underscoring our commitment to innovation while maintaining fiscal
discipline. On the strength of our first quarter results and our visibility into the growth catalysts ahead, we are reaffirming our fiscal 2026 guidance across all metrics."
_________________________
(1) Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company excludes acquisition-related costs, such as business transaction costs, integration expense and amortization expense from acquisition related intangible assets in calculating Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share. Please refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliation of Diluted Earnings Per Share (GAAP) to Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (Non-GAAP)” in this press release for an explanation and reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure.
(2) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliation of Net Earnings (GAAP) to Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)” in this press release for an explanation and reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains the non-GAAP financial measures Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted diluted EPS. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization that also excludes certain adjustments as indicated below in the reconciliation from net earnings. Adjusted diluted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure of diluted earnings per share that excludes certain adjustments as indicated below in the reconciliation from diluted EPS.
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is net earnings (its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) adjusted for interest expense, net, (benefit from) provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash share-based compensation, and transaction-related expenses and integration costs for the Hiya acquisition. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to USANA (non-GAAP) is Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) further
adjusted to exclude the Adjusted EBITDA attributable to non-controlling interest related to Hiya.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share (non-GAAP) is diluted earnings per share (its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) adjusted for amortization of intangible assets, transaction-related expenses, and integration costs related to the Hiya acquisition.
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP), Adjusted EBITDA attributable to USANA (non-GAAP), and Adjusted diluted earnings per share (non-GAAP), along with GAAP measures used by management, most appropriately reflect how the Company measures the business internally.
The Company prepares its financial statements using U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and investors should not directly compare with or infer relationship from any of the Company’s operating results presented in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted diluted earnings per share. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors because they have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of non-GAAP financial information as a tool for comparison. As a result, the non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.

Overview
Our first quarter 2026 results reflect USANA’s continued evolution from a single-channel direct sales business to a diversified, omnichannel health and wellness enterprise. Our omnichannel platform is intended to provide multiple growth engines, and early progress across our three segments reinforces confidence that our strategy will deliver sustained incremental value over time.
During 2026, we are focused on executing three strategic priorities for the Core Nutritional business: reinvigorating our global sales force through our enhanced Brand Partner compensation plan, accelerating product innovation with a robust pipeline of new and upgraded products launching across all markets, and modernizing our
technology infrastructure to fundamentally improve how customers and Brand Partners engage with the USANA brand.
The Core Nutritional business delivered solid sequential improvement in Q1, with consolidated net sales of $204 million, or 7% growth, and total active customers increasing 4% from Q4 2025, driven by strong active customer growth in response to promotional activity in China during the Chinese New Year period. During the quarter, we continued to promote our enhanced Brand Partner compensation plan, which is designed to strengthen the business opportunity and improve the productivity and retention of our sales force. We also accelerated new product launches, bringing a robust pipeline of upgraded formulations to market, and continued to align our cost structure in a manner that supports disciplined, profitable growth.
Additionally, we formalized our previously mentioned technology modernization plans, and we are funding these efforts primarily through repurposing existing resources as well as savings from operational efficiency initiatives, underscoring our commitment to innovation while maintaining fiscal discipline. These plans aim to modernize our core systems and fundamentally improve how customers experience our brand while driving future cost efficiencies across our IT infrastructure. We are planning to strategically leverage best-in-class third-party platforms to move faster, and scale smarter.
Hiya generated net sales of $32 million in the first quarter of 2026 with Active Monthly Subscribers of 186,000, reflecting modest sequential improvement following Meta disruptions that drove higher customer acquisition costs beginning in the third quarter of 2025. The business is emerging from this period of temporary disruption and the Hiya team continues to deploy the resources and capabilities necessary to re-accelerate subscriber acquisition.
A number of meaningful growth, diversification, and efficiency catalysts are underway at Hiya in 2026. Hiya launched in Canada in January and in the United Kingdom in March, establishing the brand's first international DTC markets. Additionally, Hiya products are
2
now available at Target, representing the brand's first foray into physical retail as a means to meaningfully broaden Hiya's consumer reach. We have also begun to manufacture Hiya products in-house at USANA's facility, a strategic shift we expect to deliver operational efficiencies in the back half of 2026. Taken together, the combination of new international markets, expanded retail distribution, in-house manufacturing savings, and the continued strength of Hiya's core DTC business supports our expectation that Hiya will deliver a materially stronger second half of 2026. We continue to project full-year 2026 net sales of $140 million to $155 million, representing growth of 6% to 17% over fiscal 2025.
Rise Wellness delivered $14 million in net sales in the first quarter, representing a more than 8x increase from last year's first quarter and a 143% sequential increase from Q4 2025. This performance was primarily driven by the launch of Protein Pop Plus into Costco stores nationwide, with initial stocking orders fulfilled during the quarter. Protein Pop, which went from concept to national shelf placement within a matter of months in 2025, represents a compelling product innovation story and a testament to the speed and agility of the Rise Wellness team. Rise Bar also continues to benefit from the distribution relationships established with key retail partners. We are pleased with the market reception to both brands and remain confident in the long-term potential of the Rise Wellness segment.
We recognize that the near-term economics of scaling a retail-distributed consumer brand require front-loaded investments in inventory, trade support, and brand building, which is reflected in our current gross margins. At 7.1% gross margin in Q1, Rise Wellness is in an investment phase, and we expect margins to improve over time as the brands mature, volumes scale, and manufacturing efficiencies are captured. We continue to project Rise Wellness net sales of $65 million to $80 million for fiscal 2026. We expect the business to operate at roughly breakeven for the full year as we continue
3
to invest in the capabilities and channel relationships required for sustained, long-term growth.

Consolidated Balance Sheet
We ended the first quarter with $163 million in cash and cash equivalents and $14 million of debt. We had approximately $34 million remaining under the current share repurchase authorization as of April 4, 2026.
Inventories decreased to $99 million as of April 4, 2026, or 7% lower compared to the year-end balance in fiscal 2025. This decrease was driven, in great part, from the fulfillment of Rise Wellness orders with key retailers.
For our Core Nutritional business and Hiya, we believe that our in-house manufacturing capabilities provide us with better margins, better control of inventory levels, and help to mitigate supply chain risks while providing a meaningful contribution to delivering the highest quality nutritional products.
Quarterly Income Statement Discussion
Gross margin decreased 280 basis points from the prior year to 76.2% of net sales. The decrease is largely attributed to an approximate 370 basis point unfavorable impact on consolidated results from Rise Wellness, which carries lower gross margins relative to
4
the Core Nutritional business. Gross margin in the Core Nutritional business declined 30 basis points from the prior year to 82.0% of segment net sales. Hiya gross margins increased 700 basis points from the prior year to 68.9%, reflecting lower relative freight costs, favorable mix and an inventory step-up in the prior year.
Brand Partner Incentives decreased 70 basis points from the prior year to 35.4% of net sales on a consolidated basis. Hiya and Rise Wellness, which do not payout Brand Partner Incentives, contributed to lower incentives by approximately 80 basis points. For the Core Nutritional business, Brand Partner Incentives increased 70 basis points from the prior year to 43.4% of segment net sales, which was driven primarily by market sales mix and increased incentive promotions.
Selling, General and Administrative expenses decreased 130 basis points from the prior year to 35.3% as a percentage of net sales. SG&A expenses for the Core Nutritional business decreased 190 basis points from the prior year to 29.7% of segment net sales. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower employee compensation associated with the previously communicated cost realignment initiatives. The combined SG&A increase also reflects an approximate 150 basis point unfavorable impact on consolidated results from the inclusion of Hiya, which operates with higher relative SG&A compared to the Core Nutritional business. A notable component of our higher consolidated SG&A is the amortization of intangible assets attributable to our acquisition of Hiya. Additionally, Hiya's first quarter SG&A expense reflects typical seasonality with higher relative investment in marketing spend directed toward customer acquisition.
The year-to-date effective tax rate increased to 55.0% from the 44.5% reported in the comparable period of 2025. The Q1 2025 effective tax rate reflected an expectation of higher earnings for 2025. Actual earnings were meaningfully lower in the back half of 2025, resulting in a 72.4% effective tax rate for the full year. Based on current projections, a 55% to 60% effective tax rate is expected for FY 2026.

We are reaffirming our fiscal 2026 guidance across all metrics. Our first quarter results, while reflecting continued year-over-year pressure in portions of our business, saw meaningful sequential improvement and provide us with confidence that the foundational investments we are making and the strategic actions underway are
7
beginning to produce measurable results. Our 2026 strategy is built on three integrated pillars.
First, we are actively repositioning our Core Nutritional business for long-term growth. This includes advancing the rollout of the enhanced Brand Partner compensation plan, which is designed to strengthen the appeal and competitiveness of the USANA business opportunity; accelerating new product development and launch timelines to ensure a relevant and innovative consumer product pipeline; and modernizing our technology infrastructure. We remain confident that these actions will stabilize customer counts and ultimately position the Core Nutritional business to return to sustainable growth over time.
Second, we are investing in the expansion of our high-growth omnichannel brands, Hiya and Rise Wellness. Together, these two businesses are expected to represent more than 20% of consolidated net sales in 2026, up from 16% in 2025 and approximately 1% in 2024. Each brand is pursuing a distinct but complementary growth path: Hiya through DTC excellence, channel diversification, international market expansion, and nascent retail distribution; and Rise Wellness through continued channel expansion into Costco and other large retail and club retail partners. We are committed to providing both businesses with the resources, infrastructure, and operational support required to realize their long-term potential.
Third, we are accelerating our technology modernization initiative to fundamentally improve how customers experience our brand and how we operate internally. We are planning to strategically leverage best-in-class third-party platforms to move faster, scale smarter, and drive future cost efficiencies across our IT infrastructure. The initiative includes both a repurposing existing technology spend and approximately $1.0 million of incremental investment in 2026, both of which are reflected in our current guidance.
8
Taken together, these three strategic pillars are designed to build a more diversified, more resilient, and more competitive enterprise — one that can create sustainable long-term value for shareholders across a variety of market conditions.

_________________________
(1) Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company excludes acquisition-related costs, such as business transaction costs, integration expense and amortization expense from acquisition related intangible assets in calculating Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share. Please refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliation of Diluted Earnings Per Share (GAAP) to Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (Non-GAAP)” in this press release for an explanation and reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure.
(2) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliation of Net Earnings (GAAP) to Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)” in this press release for an explanation and reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains the non-GAAP financial measures Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted diluted EPS. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization that also excludes certain adjustments as indicated below in the reconciliation from net earnings. Adjusted diluted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure of diluted earnings per share that excludes certain adjustments as indicated below in the reconciliation from diluted EPS.
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is net earnings (its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) adjusted for interest expense, net, (benefit from) provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash share-based compensation, and transaction-related expenses and integration costs for the Hiya acquisition. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to USANA (non-GAAP) is Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) further adjusted to exclude the Adjusted EBITDA attributable to non-controlling interest related to Hiya.
10
Adjusted diluted earnings per share (non-GAAP) is diluted earnings per share (its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) adjusted for amortization of intangible assets, transaction-related expenses, and integration costs related to the Hiya acquisition.
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP), Adjusted EBITDA attributable to USANA (non-GAAP), and Adjusted diluted earnings per share (non-GAAP), along with GAAP measures used by management, most appropriately reflect how the Company measures the business internally.
The Company prepares its financial statements using U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and investors should not directly compare with or infer relationship from any of the Company’s operating results presented in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted diluted earnings per share. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors because they have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of non-GAAP financial information as a tool for comparison. As a result, the non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.
