“We delivered another strong quarter, with net sales of $115 million and adjusted EBITDA of $11 million, up 4% and 8%, respectively, year-over-year,” said Terrence Moorehead, CEO of Nature’s Sunshine. “We’re particularly encouraged by the strength we continued to see in Japan and Central Europe, as well as sustained momentum in our digital business and auto ship program. These results underscore the effectiveness of our global strategy and the progress we’ve made strengthening fundamentals in North America.

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Net sales in the second quarter increased 4% to $114.8 million compared to $110.6 million in the same year-ago quarter. Excluding the impact from foreign exchange rates, net sales in the second quarter of 2025 increased 2% compared to the year-ago quarter.

Gross profit margin in the second quarter increased to 71.7% compared to 71.4% in the year-ago quarter. The increase was driven by cost savings initiatives, partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange and market mix.

Volume incentives as a percentage of net sales were 29.9% compared to 31.4% in the year-ago quarter. The decrease was primarily due to timing of promotional incentives and changes in product pricing and market mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") in the second quarter were $43.7 million compared to $38.6 million in the year‐ago quarter. The increase was primarily related to the timing of compensation costs, incremental investment in digital marketing and other non-recurring expenses. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 38.1% for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 34.9% in the year-ago quarter.

Operating income in the second quarter decreased to $4.3 million, or 3.7% of net sales, compared to $5.6 million, or 5.1% of net sales, in the year-ago quarter.

Other income (loss), net, in the second quarter of 2025 was $3.3 million compared to $(1.2) million in the second quarter of 2024. Other income (loss), net, primarily consisted of foreign exchange gains in Asia and Europe, partially offset by foreign exchange losses in Latin America and North America that resulted from net changes in foreign currencies. The provision for income taxes was $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $2.9 million for the year-ago quarter.

GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders increased to $5.3 million, or $0.28 per diluted common share, compared to $1.3 million, or $0.07 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2024. Net income attributable to NSP China increased to $0.9 million, or $0.05 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $0.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter increased 8% to $11.3 million compared to $10.4 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was driven primarily by the increase in net sales. Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined here as net income from continuing operations before taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other income (loss) adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense and certain noted adjustments. A reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA is provided in the attached financial tables.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operating activities was $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $3.5 million in the prior year period. Capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2025, totaled $2.5 million compared to $7.0 million in the comparable period of 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 1,011,000 shares at a total cost of $12.4 million or $12.22 per share.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have included information which has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), such as information concerning non-GAAP net income, adjusted EBITDA and net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations.

We utilize the non-GAAP measures of non-GAAP net income and adjusted EBITDA in the evaluation of our operations and believe that these measures are useful indicators of our ability to fund our business. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, U.S. GAAP net income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance.

Other companies may use the same or similarly named measures, but exclude different items, which may not provide investors with a comparable view of Nature’s Sunshine Products’ performance in relation to other companies. We have included a reconciliation of net income, the most comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted EBITDA. We have also included a reconciliation of GAAP net income to non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP adjusted EPS, in the attached financial tables.

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 functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries. This is accomplished by translating the current period's 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.

We believe presenting the impact of foreign currency fluctuations is useful to investors because it allows a more meaningful comparison of net sales of our foreign operations from period to period. Net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net sales in U.S. dollar measures that reflect current period exchange rates, or to other financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

With respect to our adjusted EBITDA outlook for the full year 2025, a quantitative reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP information cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted, including but not limited to warrant liabilities and stock based compensation. For the same reasons, we are unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a material impact on our future GAAP financial results.
