Mannatech Reports Third Quarter End 2023 Financial Results

FLOWER MOUND, Texas, November 07, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mannatech, Incorporated (NASDAQ: MTEX), a global health and wellness company committed to transforming lives to make a better world, today announced financial results for its third quarter of 2023.

Third Quarter End Results

Third quarter net sales for 2023 were $32.6 million, a decrease of $2.9 million, or 8.3%, as compared to $35.5 million in the third quarter of 2022. Our net sales decreased 8.5% on a constant dollar basis (see Non-GAAP Measures, below) however, foreign exchange increased GAAP net sales by $0.1 million, mostly due to the strengthening of the Korean Won.

Third quarter operating income for 2023 was $0.2 million as compared to operating income of $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2022.

Net income was $18,000 or $0.01 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2023, as compared to net income of $1.2 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2022.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, overall selling and administrative expenses increased by $0.2 million to $6.9 million, as compared to $6.7 million for the same period in 2022. The increase in selling and administrative expenses consisted of a $0.2 million increase in marketing costs and a $0.1 million increase in warehouse costs, which was partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in payroll costs.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, other operating costs increased by $0.1 million to $5.2 million, as compared to $5.1 million for the same period in 2022. The increase in operating costs was primarily due to a $0.3 million increase in bad debt, a $0.2 million increase in consulting fees for Trulu, a new venture to serve as our innovation hub, which was partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in travel and entertainment, a $0.1 million decrease in office expenses and a $0.1 million decrease in credit card fees.

The 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 September 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately 146,000 and 152,000, respectively. Recruitment of new independent associates and preferred customers increased by 20.9% to 23,296 in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to 19,273 in the third quarter of 2022.

Year-to-date Third Quarter Results

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net sales were $99.3 million, a decrease of $3.6 million, or 3.5%, as compared to $102.9 million for the same period in 2022. Our net sales declined 1.2% on a constant dollar basis (see Non-GAAP Measures, below) as foreign exchange decreased GAAP net sales by $2.4 million mostly due to the decline of the Korean Won, Japanese Yen and Australian Dollar.

Operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $0.1 million as compared to operating income of $2.2 million for the same period in 2022.

Net loss was $0.5 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to net income of $2.0 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, for the same period in 2022.

We did not pay a quarterly dividend for the second quarter, which preserved approximately $0.4 million of cash and we will not pay a quarterly dividend for this quarter, which will preserve an additional $0.4 million of cash.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release and related tables include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including a presentation of constant dollar measures. We disclose operating results that have been adjusted to exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, including changes in: Net Sales, Gross Profit, and Income from Operations. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because they are an indicator of the strength and performance of ongoing business operations. The constant currency figures are financial measures used by management to provide investors an additional perspective on trends. Although we believe the non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an exclusive alternative to accompanying GAAP financial measures. Please see the accompanying table entitled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Sales, Gross Profit and Income from Operations in Constant Dollars)

To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), we disclose operating results that have been adjusted to exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, including changes in: Net Sales, Gross Profit, and Income from Operations. We refer to these adjusted financial measures as constant dollar items, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these measures provide investors an additional perspective on trends. To exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, we calculate current year results and prior year results at a constant exchange rate, which is the prior year’s rate. Currency impact is determined as the difference between actual growth rates and constant currency growth rates.

The table below reconciles third quarter 2023 and year-to-date constant dollar net sales, gross profit and income from operations to our GAAP net sales, gross profit and income from operations.
