    SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LifeVantage Corporation (Nasdaq: LFVN) today reported financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021.

    • Total active accounts declined 4.7% to 164,000 as growth of 8.9% in Asia/Pacific & Europe was more than offset by declines of 9.4% in the Americas. On a sequential basis, total active accounts were down 3.5%;
    • Earnings per diluted share were $0.25, up 47.1%;
    • Adjusted earnings per diluted share were $0.23, down 8.0%;

    • Repurchased approximately 0.5 million shares; and
    • Strong balance sheet with $19.9 million of cash and no debt.

    * All comparisons are on a year over year basis and compare the first quarter of fiscal 2022 to the first quarter of fiscal 2021, unless otherwise noted.

    “We continue to make progress on our initiatives around leveraging the strength of our core products and unique business model,” said Steve Fife, Chief Executive Officer of LifeVantage. “Momentum across our distributors is building and we saw an acceleration in activity in recent weeks, coming out of our annual convention which had over 1,500 people attend in person and we estimate over 10,000 people participated virtually. Development of digital tools and resources remains a key area of focus, which should fuel future account growth while also driving productivity gains for distributors. First quarter results were largely in line with our expectations and our ability to deliver high rates of profitability despite the persistence of top-line headwinds stemming from limited in-person activity is a testament to the Company’s strong financial model. Accordingly, LifeVantage remains well positioned for significant long-term growth as consumers globally continue to seek high-quality, proven solutions for optimizing their health and wellness.”

    First Quarter Fiscal 2022 Results

    For the first fiscal quarter, the Company reported revenue of $53.2 million, a 2.9% decrease over the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Revenue in the Americas decreased 5.8% compared to the prior year period and was partially offset by gains in Asia/Pacific & Europe where revenue increased 3.9% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Revenue growth was negatively impacted by slower than anticipated re-openings as well as restrictions internationally that affected the ability to host in-person meetings.  

    Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was $43.8 million, or 82.3% of revenue, compared to $45.4 million, or 82.9% of revenue, for the same period in fiscal 2021. The decline in gross profit margin was due to increased inventory obsolescence costs, higher shipping expenses and mix shifts related to product and geography.

    Commissions and incentives expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was $24.1 million, or 45.3% of revenue, compared to $25.6 million, or 46.8% of revenue, for the same period in fiscal 2021. The decrease in commissions and incentives expense as a percentage of revenue reflects the timing and magnitude of incentive and promotional programs.

    Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was $15.1 million, or 28.3% of revenue, compared to $16.3 million, or 29.7% of revenue, for the same period in fiscal 2021. Adjusted for nonrecurring expenses, which are detailed in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation tables included at the end of this press release, adjusted non-GAAP SG&A expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 were $15.3 million, or 28.8% of revenue, compared to adjusted non-GAAP SG&A expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 of $14.7 million, or 26.8% of revenue. The increase in non-GAAP SG&A was attributable to increased marketing expenses as well as increased event and travel expenses as we begin returning to a hybrid meeting schedule.  

    Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was $4.6 million, or 8.7% of revenue, compared to $3.5 million, or 6.4% of revenue, for the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Accounting for non-GAAP adjustments noted previously, adjusted non-GAAP operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was $4.4 million, or 8.2% of revenue, compared to $5.1 million, or 9.3% of revenue, for the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

    Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was $3.3 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, which compares to net income of $2.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share for the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Accounting for non-GAAP adjustments noted previously, net of tax, adjusted non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was $3.1 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to $3.6 million, or $0.25 per diluted share the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

    Adjusted EBITDA decreased 13.7% to $5.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to $6.7 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2021.

    Balance Sheet & Liquidity

    The Company generated $0.5 million of cash from operations during the first three months of fiscal 2022 compared to cash used in operations of $1.1 million in the same period in fiscal 2021. Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2021 were $19.9 million, compared to $23.2 million at June 30, 2021 and there was no debt outstanding. During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company repurchased approximately 0.5 million common shares for $3.5 million under its share repurchase program.

    Fiscal Year 2022 Guidance

    The Company expects to generate revenue in the range of $225 million to $235 million in fiscal year 2022 and adjusted EBITDA of $22 million to $24 million, with adjusted earnings per share in the range of $0.83 to $0.87, which assumes a full year tax rate of approximately 26%. This guidance reflects the current trends in the business and the Company’s current view as to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business. The Company's guidance for adjusted non-GAAP EBITDA and adjusted non-GAAP earnings per diluted share excludes any non-operating or non-recurring expenses that may materialize during fiscal 2022. The Company is not providing guidance for GAAP earnings per diluted share for fiscal 2022 due to the potential occurrence of one or more non-operating, one-time expenses, which the Company does not believe it can reliably predict.

    About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    We define Non-GAAP EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, other income, net, and certain other adjustments. Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We define Non-GAAP Net Income as GAAP net income less certain tax adjusted non-recurring one-time expenses incurred during the period and Non-GAAP Earnings per Share as Non-GAAP Net Income divided by weighted-average shares outstanding.

    We are presenting Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share because management believes that they provide additional ways to view our operations when considered with both our GAAP results and the reconciliation to net income, which we believe provides a more complete understanding of our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share are presented solely as supplemental disclosure because: (i) we believe these measures are a useful tool for investors to assess the operating performance of the business without the effect of these items; (ii) we believe that investors will find this data useful in assessing shareholder value; and (iii) we use Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share internally as benchmarks to evaluate our operating performance or compare our performance to that of our competitors. The use of Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings per Share has limitations and you should not consider these measures in isolation from or as an alternative to the relevant GAAP measure of net income prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of profitability or liquidity.

    The tables set forth below present reconciliations of Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings per Share, which are non-GAAP financial measures to Net Income and Earnings per Share, our most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
