Exhibit 99.1

MANNATECH, INC. REPORTS RECORD SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS

DILUTED E.P.S. OF $0.31 INCREASED 48 PERCENT ON MODEST SALES GROWTH.

Coppell, TX August 9, 2006 Mannatech, Inc. (NASDAQ – MTEX) today reported record earnings for second quarter 2006 of $0.31 per diluted share, up 48% from second quarter 2005 earnings of $0.21 per diluted share. Pretax profit reached $13.4 million for the quarter, up 41% over prior year, reflecting favorable costs relative to sales. Net income for the quarter reached a record $8.6 million with a net profit ratio of 8.2%, a rate improvement of 2.5 points versus 2005, partially due to a lower effective tax rate in the quarter.

Total second quarter revenue was $104.8 million, up 2.1 percent versus prior year. Total current Mannatech independent associates and members grew to 526,000 as of June 30, 2006, an increase of 19.5% compared with the same time prior year. The record current independent associate and member count resulted primarily from the increase in continuing current independent associates and members. The number of new and continuing independent associates and members during the last 12-months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006 were as follows:

* In the second quarter 2005, we originally reported on our Form 10-Q the split between new and continuing independent associates and members to be 209,000, 47.5%, and 231,000, 52.5%. However, the total number of associates was correctly reported at 440,000.

Sam Caster, Board Chairman and CEO, commented, “Our record earnings for the quarter reflect significant ongoing efforts to improve profitability in all operational areas. While we were not pleased with the sales and recruitment performance in the second quarter, we feel we are well positioned for new growth in the coming months with planned new product introductions, and new country openings following the completion of our ERP system installation early next year.”

Mr. Caster continued, “We are working to strengthen our growth trend in the second half of 2006 based on significant new product introduction. This will include the launch in the fourth quarter of a revolutionary new product, called PhytoMatrix, the nutrition industry’s first supplement containing completely standardized levels of all natural vitamin complexes and 100% plant sourced minerals and phytochemicals. This important product development fills the needs of health-conscious consumers who prefer natural plant-based wellness products over synthetic ingredients. In addition, we are preparing to expand “Optimal” our proprietary new preservative-free skin care system, into several more of our current markets. “Optimal” was successfully introduced in Japan in mid-May, where it generated more than $1.2 million in sales by the end of June.” Skin care alone for the quarter accounted for sales growth of 14% against 2005 in Japan, while quarterly total sales increased 21% in that market.


Year-to-date sales through June reached $203.7 million, up 8.5%from 2005. Net income grew to $14.5 million, an increase of over 38%, and diluted earnings per share grew to $0.53, up 39% in the first half of 2006 versus the prior year. Mannatech also expended $4.0 million to repurchase approximately 327,000 shares of stock in the second quarter.
