NEWS RELEASE

COPPELL, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 4, 2015-- Mannatech, Incorporated (NASDAQ: MTEX), the pioneer of nutritional glycobiology, leading innovator of naturally-sourced supplements based on Real Food Technology® solutions, and creator of the M5M^SM (Mission 5 Million^SM) social entrepreneurial movement, today announced financial results for its second quarter 2015.

Second quarter net sales for 2015 were $46.7 million, an increase of 0.9% as compared to $46.3 million in the second quarter of 2014. The net sales comparison for the quarter was affected by the loyalty program and foreign exchange. The loyalty program increased second quarter 2015 net sales by $3.2 million, as compared to the same period in 2014. Our net sales increased 7.6% in constant dollars, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Cost of sales was $8.3 million, a decrease of 15.1% as compared to $9.7 million in the second quarter of 2014. This decrease was due to the impact of foreign exchange and a smaller charge for obsolete inventory of $0.1 million during the second quarter, compared to a charge of $0.8 million during the same period in 2014.

Commissions and incentives were $18.9 million, a decrease of 4.5% as compared to $19.8 million in the second quarter of 2014 when we paid commissions associated with launched and pre-launch activities in the Asia/Pacific region. We recognized $2.8 million in revenue related to these activities during the third quarter of 2014.

Net income was $3.1 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2015, as compared to net loss of $0.7 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2014.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, our operations outside of North America accounted for approximately 59.7% of our consolidated net sales.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, Asia/Pacific net sales increased by $2.2 million, or 10.3%, to $23.6 million, as compared to $21.4 million for the same period in 2014 due to growth in the number of active members and growth in the revenue per active associate and member. In constant dollars, net sales would have increased 21.0% to $25.9 million; the currency impact was primarily due to the Korean won, Japanese yen and Australian dollar.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, EMEA net sales increased by $0.3 million, or 7.5%, to $4.3 million, as compared to $4.0 million for the same period in 2014. Increases in active associates were partially offset by decreases in revenue per active associate and member. In constant dollars, net sales would have increased 25.0% to $5.0 million; the currency impact was primarily due to depreciation of the South Africa rand and the euro.

North American net sales decreased by $2.1 million, or 10.0%, to $18.8 million, as compared to $20.9 million for the same period in 2014 due to a decline in active associates and members.

New associates for the quarter increased 10.2% compared to the same period in the prior year. This was offset by a decrease in new members resulting in recruiting of new independent associates and members decreasing 18.7% in the second quarter 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014. The number of new independent associates and members for the second quarter of 2015 was approximately 25,600, as compared to 31,500 in 2014. The total number of independent associates and members based on a 12-month trailing period was approximately 228,000 as of June 30, 2015, as compared to 239,000 as of June 30, 2014. Packs purchased by independent associates to build their business were up 21.9% for the quarter to $8.9 million.

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 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. The following tables include a full reconciliation of actual non-GAAP financial measures to the related GAAP financial measures.

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 above 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.

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, Deferred Revenue, 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.
