“Strong consumer demand for our high-quality, health products and successful promotions drove our second quarter performance,” said Kevin Guest, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. “During the quarter, we generated nearly eight percent growth in active customers, due to double-digit customer growth in three-of-our-four regions, including the Americas and Europe region. We also continued to successfully execute a virtual sales and operating strategy to deliver our results. This strategy included USANA hosting its first all-virtual Asia Pacific Convention, as well as the facilitation of other technology-based tools that assisted our Associates in their sales efforts. Finally, we offered several promotions and incentives during the quarter that benefitted net sales and our overall results. The health, wellness and safety of our employees, Associates and customers around the world remain our top priorities and our operating plan will continue to reflect those priorities.”
Mr. Guest continued, “We are raising our full-year guidance to reflect a solid second quarter as well as our expectations for the back-half of the year. We recognize that we cannot anticipate all of the challenges that might arise as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, but we believe that we are positioned to continue adapting to an evolving operating environment. Overall, we remain confident in the strength of USANA’s underlying business and the growth strategies we have in place for the remainder of 2020 and beyond.”

Balance Sheet
The Company ended the quarter with $227.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and no debt. During the quarter the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock and, as of June 27, 2020, there was approximately $73 million remaining under the current share repurchase authorization. Beginning in the third quarter, the Company’s board of directors will once again consider utilizing the Company’s share repurchase authorization to return value to shareholders.

Doug Hekking, Chief Financial Officer, said, “We offered several successful promotions and incentives during the quarter that contributed to net sales while generating solid customer growth. We are raising our guidance to reflect our expectations for the back half of the year and plan on an increased cadence of promotions and incentives, particularly in the third quarter. The expected overall impact from currency remains relatively unchanged from the update we provided following the first quarter. Finally, our revised diluted earnings per share outlook reflects savings realized from event and travel costs due to the COVID-19 environment, as well as our success in aligning spending with sales performance. Although we are managing our cost structure to align with sales and to ensure the Company’s financial flexibility, we plan to continue making investments to execute our long-term growth strategies and to generate momentum in each of our regions.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company prepares its financial statements using U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Constant currency net sales, earnings, EPS and other currency-related financial information (collectively, “Financial Results”) are non-GAAP financial measures that remove the impact of fluctuations in foreign-currency exchange rates (“fx”) and help facilitate period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s Financial Results that we believe provide investors an additional perspective on trends and underlying business results. Constant currency Financial Results are calculated by translating the current period’s Financial Results at the same average exchange rates in effect during the applicable prior-year period and then comparing this amount to the prior-year period’s Financial Results.
