[{"type":"text","content":" FLOWER MOUND, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nMannatech, Incorporated (NASDAQ: MTEX), a global health and wellness company committed to transforming lives to make a better world, today announced financial results for its first quarter of 2022.\n\nFirst Quarter End Results\n\nFirst quarter net sales for 2022 were $32.4 million, a decrease of $5.9 million, or 15.5%, as compared to $38.3 million in the first quarter of 2021. Our net sales declined 11.5% on a constant dollar basis (see Non-GAAP Measures, below) and foreign exchange decreased GAAP net sales by $1.5 million, mostly due to the decline of the Korean Won and Japanese Yen. During the quarter, supply chain constraints impacted our sales. As a result, we had to postpone planned promotions as we were sourcing and shipping product. We deferred revenue of orders shipped but not received by customers, in particular in our Asia Pacific market. In Hong Kong, we have deferred $0.9 million revenue for orders shipped but not received by customers. The number of product fulfilled orders decreased by 6.0% to 189,700 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to 201,729 during the same period in 2021.\n\nFirst quarter operating income for 2022 was less than $0.1 million as compared to $2.8 million for the first quarter of 2021.\n\nNet income was $0.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2022, as compared to net income of $2.2 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2021.\n\nFor the three months ended March 31, 2022, overall selling and administrative expenses decreased by $0.2 million to $6.9 million, as compared to $7.1 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease in selling and administrative expenses consisted of a $0.1 million decrease in marketing costs and a $0.1 million decrease in contract labor costs.\n\nFor the three months ended March 31, 2022, other operating costs decreased by $0.2 million to $4.9 million, as compared to $5.1 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease in operating costs was primarily due to a $0.2 million decrease in legal and consulting fees.\n\nThe approximate number of new and continuing independent associate and preferred customer positions held by individuals in Mannatech’s network and associated with purchases of products as of March 31, 2022 and 2021 were approximately 157,000 and 187...
