Management Commentary

"We delivered a solid quarter, with constant currency sales growth of 4% across nearly all of our geographic regions," said Ken Romanzi, CEO of Nature's Sunshine. "Results were led by 5% growth in Asia Pacific, driven by strong consultant engagement, and by North America, where digital sales increased 26%, fueled by continued momentum among new and returning customers. Growth was supported by continued customer acquisition, expansion of our digital capabilities, increased adoption of our auto-ship subscription programs, and solid consultant growth. Strong execution, disciplined cost management, and ongoing productivity initiatives also drove further gross margin expansion.

"The second quarter marked the beginning of investments in our Vision for Growth, our plan to accelerate our longer-term growth rate including continued expansion of our digital business, enhanced digital tools for our consultant base, deeper penetration of existing markets, and expansion into new markets. We believe these investments, combined with our strong business model and disciplined execution, position us to deliver sustainable, accelerated long-term growth."

	$	116,985	$	114,750	1.9	%	$	(2,142	)	3.8	%

Net sales in the second quarter increased 2% to $117.0 million compared to $114.8 million in the same year-ago quarter. Excluding the impact from foreign exchange rates, net sales in the second quarter of 2026 increased 4% compared to the year-ago quarter.

Gross profit margin in the second quarter increased to 73.7% compared to 71.7% in the year-ago quarter. The increase was driven by cost savings initiatives and market mix.

Volume incentives as a percentage of net sales were 30.6% compared to 29.9% in the year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to timing of promotional incentives and market mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") in the second quarter were $44.9 million compared to $43.7 million in the year‐ago quarter. The increase was primarily related to consultant events and variable selling expenses, partially offset by compensation costs. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 38.4% for the second quarter of 2026 compared to 38.1% in the year-ago quarter.

Operating income in the second quarter increased to $5.5 million, or 4.7% of net sales, compared to $4.3 million, or 3.7% of net sales, in the year-ago quarter.

Other income (expense), net, in the second quarter of 2026 was $(0.1) million compared to $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2025. Other income (expense), net, primarily consisted of foreign exchange losses in Asia, partially offset by foreign exchange gains in Europe and Latin America that resulted from net changes in foreign currencies. The provision for income taxes was $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $2.0 million for the year-ago quarter.

GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders decreased to $3.5 million, or $0.19 per diluted common share, compared to $5.3 million, or $0.28 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2025. As a result of the December 2025 purchase of noncontrolling interests, there was no net income attributable to NSP China for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $0.9 million, or $0.05 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter remained flat at $11.3 million compared to $11.3 million in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined here as net income from continuing operations before taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other income (expense) adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense and certain noted adjustments. A reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA is provided in the attached financial tables.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Net cash used by operating activities was $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $6.9 million provided in the prior year period. Capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2026, totaled $5.3 million compared to $2.5 million in the comparable period of 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 113,000 shares at a total cost of $2.6 million or $22.55 per share. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $82.5 million and zero debt.

Outlook

Reflecting the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar and recent softness in the China market, Nature's Sunshine now expects full year 2026 net sales to range between $490 to $500 million ($500 to $515 million prior). Adjusted EBITDA is now expected to range between $48 to $52 million ($50 to $54 million prior).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have included information which has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), such as information concerning non-GAAP net income, adjusted EBITDA and net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations.

We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide investors with greater transparency to evaluate operational activities and financial results and facilitate consistent comparisons to the historical operating performance of prior periods. We utilize these non-GAAP measures of non-GAAP net income and adjusted EBITDA in the evaluation of our operations and believe that these measures are useful indicators of our operating performance and ability to fund our business. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, U.S. GAAP net income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance.

Other companies may use the same or similarly named measures, but exclude different items, which may not provide investors with a comparable view of Nature’s Sunshine Products’ performance in relation to other companies. We have included a reconciliation of net income, the most comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted EBITDA. We have also included a reconciliation of GAAP net income to non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP adjusted EPS, in the attached financial tables.

Net sales in local currency removes, from net sales in U.S. dollars, the impact of changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries. This is accomplished by translating the current period's net sales into U.S. dollars using the same foreign currency exchange rates that were used to translate the net sales for the previous comparable period.

We believe presenting the impact of foreign currency fluctuations is useful to investors because it allows a more meaningful comparison of net sales of our foreign operations from period to period. Net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net sales in U.S. dollar measures that reflect current period exchange rates, or to other financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

With respect to our adjusted EBITDA outlook for the full year 2026, a quantitative reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP information cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted, including but not limited to warrant liabilities and stock based compensation. For the same reasons, we are unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a material impact on our future GAAP financial results.
