Management Commentary

Herbalife reported first quarter 2024 net sales of $1.3 billion, up 1.0% year-over-year. On a constant currency basis2, net sales increased 2.4% year-over-year.

First quarter gross profit margin improved to 77.5% compared to 76.2% in first quarter 2023. On a year-over-year basis, gross profit margin benefited from approximately 150 basis points of pricing, approximately 60 basis points of lower inventory write-downs and approximately 10 basis points each from favorable sales mix and foreign currency, partially offset by approximately 110 basis points of input cost inflation, primarily related to increased raw material costs.

Net income was $24.3 million, with net income margin of 1.9%. Net cash provided by operating activities was $13.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA1 of $138.3 million includes approximately $4 million of foreign currency headwinds year-over-year, with adjusted EBITDA1 margin of 10.9%, up 60 basis points year-over-year. Diluted EPS was $0.24, with adjusted diluted EPS1 of $0.49, which includes a $0.03 year-over-year foreign currency headwind.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, capital expenditures and capitalized SaaS implementation costs were approximately $33 million and $5 million, respectively. The Company expects to incur total capital expenditures of approximately $120 million to $150 million and total capitalized SaaS implementation costs of approximately $20 million to $25 million for the full year of 2024.

On March 20, the Company announced a new organizational restructuring plan designed to bring leadership closer to its markets, streamline the employee structure and accelerate productivity (“Restructuring Program”). The Restructuring Program is expected to deliver annual savings of at least $80 million beginning in 2025, with approximately $40 million expected to be achieved in 2024. The Company expects to incur total program pre-tax expenses of at least $60 million related to the program, which are primarily related to severance costs and will be excluded from adjusted results. The Company began implementing actions related to the program during the first quarter and expects a majority of all actions to be completed by the end of June 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, approximately $17 million of pre-tax expenses were recognized in SG&A related to the restructuring. The Restructuring Program is separate from Herbalife’s Transformation Program.

In March, and consistent with its capital allocation priorities, the Company repaid in full, the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the 2024 Convertible Notes at maturity with a combination of $108.6 million in cash and $91.0 million in borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

On April 12, the Company completed a $1.6 billion senior secured refinancing, which included:

• $800 million aggregate principal amount of 12.250% senior secured notes due April 2029
• $400 million senior secured Term Loan B facility due April 2029
• $400 million senior secured revolving credit facility due April 2028 (“Amended Revolving Credit Facility”)

Proceeds from the transactions were used to repay all amounts outstanding under the 2018 Term Loan A, 2018 Term Loan B and 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, which were scheduled to mature in 2025, redeem $300 million of the $600 million aggregate principal amount of the 7.875% Senior Notes due 2025 (“2025 Senior Notes”) at a price of 101.969% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and pay related fees and expenses.

In addition, the Company separately repurchased approximately $38 million of the 2025 Senior Notes in a private transaction at the same redemption price as the $300 million described above. Following the repurchase, approximately $262 million remains outstanding on the 2025 Senior Notes. Upon completion of the refinancing transactions, approximately $170 million was outstanding under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility as of April 26.

“The business continues to strengthen,” said John DeSimone, Chief Financial Officer. “We are taking swift actions to expand margins, maximize shareholder value and reduce our total leverage ratio to 3.0x by the end of 2025.”

The Company recently rolled out its all-new distributor e-commerce platform, built on Herbalife One, to its distributors in the UK and Spain. The distributor platform continues to build upon the foundational capabilities launched with the all-new Herbalife.com websites and supports personalized commerce websites that enable distributors to offer a seamless online shopping experience. The new distributor sites place a strong emphasis on strengthening the customer-distributor connection, providing faster order fulfillment and checkout for customers, and various other feature enhancements. In 2024, development will continue on offerings to elevate the digital platform capabilities provided to its distributors and customers.

In March, approximately 4,300 distributor leaders from 80 countries came together in Lisbon, Portugal for Summit 2024, the Company’s annual leadership training and recognition event. During the five-day event, several new initiatives were unveiled to help distributors sustainably grow their businesses, including enhanced leadership development opportunities, elevated entrepreneurial skills training, and a program to drive increased recruitment globally. In April, approximately 14,000 attendees gathered at China’s Extravaganza training event in Chengdu, an increase of approximately 25% over the 2023 event.

“Economic opportunities built around selling diversified nutrition and wellness offerings, including through approximately 67,000 fixed location nutrition clubs worldwide, differentiates us from others in our industry,” said Michael Johnson.

Supplemental Information

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

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA

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 and adjusted EBITDA, performance measures that the Securities and Exchange Commission defines as “non-GAAP financial measures.” Adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted EBITDA exclude 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 extinguishment of debt and Korea tax settlement, as further detailed in the reconciliations below. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.

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.

The Company’s definitions and calculations as set forth in the tables below of adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted EBITDA 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 or diluted EPS calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income, the comparable U.S. GAAP measure, 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, we cannot reconcile this non-GAAP projection without unreasonable efforts. We expect the variability of these items, which are necessary for a presentation of the reconciliation, could have a significant impact on our reported U.S. GAAP financial results.

Currency Fluctuation

Our international operations have provided and will continue to provide a significant portion of our 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 our 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, we also compare 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 our 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. We believe presenting net sales in local currency is useful to investors because it allows a meaningful comparison of net sales of our foreign operations from period to period. However, net sales in local currency 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.
