Mannatech Reports Record Breaking Year

The Company’s best financial performance in its ten-year history.

 

Coppell, Texas – March 10, 2004 – Mannatech, Incorporated (NASDAQ – MTEX) an international developer of nutritional supplements, topical products and weight management products, today announced that its consolidated net sales for the year ended 2003 were $191.0 million, which was an increase of more than $50 million, or 35.6%, as compared to 2002. This increase was the highest level in Mannatech’s ten-year history and was largely attributed to gains in year-over-year sales in all countries where Mannatech presently operates. Net sales by country as of December 31, in millions, were as follows:
