Mannatech Reports Fourth Quarter 2015 Financial Results

Fourth quarter net sales for 2015 were $45.3 million, an increase of 0.2% as compared to $45.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. The net sales comparison for the quarter was affected by foreign exchange rates and new product launches.

Income from operations increased 7.7% to $2.8 million for the fourth quarter 2015, from $2.6 million in the same period in 2014. Net income was $1.5 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter 2015, as compared to $1.9 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter 2014.

For the three months ended December 31, 2015, Mannatech’s operations outside of North America accounted for approximately 58.9% of Mannatech’s consolidated net sales.

For the three months ended December 31, 2015, Asia/Pacific net sales increased by $1.6 million, or 7.4%, to $23.1 million, as compared to $21.5 million for the same period in 2014. Net sales comparisons for the fourth quarter were affected by the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. In constant dollars (a non-GAAP financial measure), fourth quarter 2015 net sales would have been $1.8 million higher, or $24.9 million. The currency impact was primarily due to depreciation of the Korean Won, the Japanese Yen and the Australian Dollar.

For the three months ended December 31, 2015, net sales for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) decreased by $0.9 million, or 20.0%, to $3.6 million, as compared to $4.5 million for the same period in 2014. In constant dollars (a non-GAAP financial measure), net sales for the fourth quarter 2015 would have been $4.4 million. The currency impact was primarily due to the depreciation of the South African Rand and Euro.

North American net sales decreased by $0.6 million, or 3.1%, to $18.6 million, as compared to $19.2 million for the same period in 2014. The decreases were due to declines in associates and members holding active positions in our network.

The approximate number of new and continuing independent associate and member positions held by individuals in Mannatech’s network and associated with purchases of our packs or products as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 were approximately 219,000 and 230,000, respectively. Recruiting decreased 2.0% in the fourth quarter of 2015 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. The number of new independent associate and member positions in the company’s network for the fourth quarter of 2015 was approximately 21,400, as compared to 21,900 in 2014.

Overall net sales for the year ended December 31, 2015 decreased $9.8 million, or 5.2%, compared to 2014. During 2015, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates had an overall $11.8 million unfavorable impact on our net sales. Net income for 2015 was $5.8 million, or $2.14 per diluted share, as compared to $6.5 million, or $2.40 per diluted share, for 2014.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, Mannatech’s operations outside of North America accounted for approximately 59.3% of Mannatech’s consolidated net sales whereas in the same period in 2014, our operations outside of North America accounted for 57.5% of our consolidated net sales.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2015, Asia/Pacific net sales decreased by $1.0 million, or 1.1%, to $91.4 million, as compared to $92.4 million in 2014. Net sales comparisons for year were affected by the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. In constant dollars (a non-GAAP financial measure), sales would have been $8.9 million higher, or $100.3 million. The currency impact was primarily due to depreciation of the Korean Won, the Japanese Yen and the Australian Dollar.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, EMEA net sales decreased by $1.3 million, or 7.7%, to $15.6 million, as compared to $16.9 million, for the same period in 2014. In constant dollars (a non-GAAP financial measure), and net sales for the year would have been $2.7 million higher, or $18.3 million. The currency impact was primarily due to the depreciation of the South African Rand and Euro.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, North American net sales decreased by $7.5 million, or 9.3%, to $73.3 million, as compared to $80.8 million in 2014. The decreases were due to declines in associates and members holding active positions in our network.

Mannatech’s cash and cash equivalents increased by approximately $4.0 million to a balance of $32.0 million at December 31, 2015, as compared to $28.0 million at December 31, 2014. Also, total shareholder’s equity increased by $7.2 million to a balance of $38.6 million, as compared to $31.4 million at December 31, 2014.

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 currency 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.

Mannatech will host a conference call to discuss the quarter’s results with investors on Wednesday, March 16, 2016 at 9 a.m. CST, 10 a.m. EST. The live call will be webcast and can be accessed on Mannatech’s website at http://ir.mannatech.com.

For those unable to listen to the live broadcast, a replay will be available shortly after the call. The toll-free replay number is (855) 859-2056 (International (404) 537-3406); the Conference ID to access the call is 56400213.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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.
