Management Commentary
“The momentum in our business continued to accelerate in the third quarter, with record net sales of $128 million and adjusted EBITDA of $15 million, representing year-over-year growth of 12% and 42%, respectively,” said Shane Jones, CFO of Nature’s Sunshine. “Our strategic investments in North America Digital continue to pay off, as a surge in new customers, coupled with strong retention, yielded a 52% year-over-year increase in Digital sales. We also continue to see exceptional results in Asia-Pacific, driven by 30%+ growth in both Japan and China during the quarter.”

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Net sales in the third quarter increased 12% to $128.3 million compared to $114.6 million in the same year-ago quarter. Excluding the impact from foreign exchange rates, net sales in the third quarter of 2025 increased 10% compared to the year-ago quarter.
Gross profit margin in the third quarter increased to 73.3% compared to 71.3% in the year-ago quarter. The increase was driven by cost savings initiatives, market mix and favorable foreign exchange.
Volume incentives as a percentage of net sales were 30.7% compared to 31.0% in the year-ago quarter. The decrease was primarily due to timing of promotional incentives and changes in product pricing and market mix.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") in the third quarter were $45.7 million compared to $41.0 million in the year‐ago quarter. The increase was primarily related to the timing of compensation costs, incremental investment in digital marketing and consultant events as well as other non-recurring expenses. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 35.6% for the third quarter of 2025 compared to 35.7% in the year-ago quarter.
Operating income in the third quarter increased to $9.0 million, or 7.0% of net sales, compared to $5.3 million, or 4.6% of net sales, in the year-ago quarter.
Other income, net, in the third quarter of 2025 was $0.7 million compared to $2.6 million in the third quarter of 2024. Other income, net, primarily consisted of foreign exchange gains in Asia and Europe, partially offset by foreign exchange losses in Latin America and North America that resulted from net changes in foreign currencies. The provision for income taxes was $4.1 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $3.3 million for the year-ago quarter.
GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders increased to $5.3 million, or $0.30 per diluted common share, compared to $4.3 million, or $0.23 per diluted common share, in the third quarter of 2024. Net income attributable to NSP China decreased to $1.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $1.5 million, or $0.08 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter increased 42% to $15.2 million compared to $10.7 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was driven primarily by the increase in net sales. 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 (loss) 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 provided by operating activities was $25.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $13.1 million in the prior year period. Capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, totaled $4.1 million compared to $8.8 million in the comparable period of 2024.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding the Company’s future business expectations, which are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements relating to our objectives, plans, strategies and financial results, including expected improvements in gross profit and gross margin. All statements (other than statements of historical fact) that address activities, events or developments that we intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These statements are often characterized by terminology such as “believe,” “hope,” “may,” “anticipate,” “should,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “positioned,” “strategy” and similar expressions, and are based on assumptions and assessments made in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe to be appropriate. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including the following:
These and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from predicted results are more fully detailed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports filed on Form 10-Q.
All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in or incorporated by reference into this press release.

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 2025, 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.
