Mannatech, Incorporated(NASDAQ: MTEX), ("Mannatech" or "Company"), global health and wellness company committed to transforming lives to make a better world, today announced financial results for its first quarter of 2025.

First Quarter Highlights

• Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 were $26.6 million, as compared to $29.4 million for the same period in 2024, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 9.6%. On a Constant dollar basis (see Non-GAAP Measures, below) our net sales decreased $1.6 million, or 5.4%, and unfavorable foreign exchange caused a $1.2 million decrease in GAAP net sales as compared to the same period in 2024. The decline in revenues was principally due to slowing demand in Asia due to weakened economic conditions, relative to the prior year.
• Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 74.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to 78.6% for the same period in 2024, some of the increase in costs were related to increased freight costs related to back ordered items and running sales promotions on products thereby reducing our gross profit margin.
• Commission expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by 10.5%, or $1.2 million, to $10.0 million, as compared to $11.2 million for the same period in 2024. Commissions are earned from sales. Commission expenses in dollar terms decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to a decline in our sales.

• For the three months ended March 31, 2025, selling and administrative expenses decreased by $0.6 million, or 5.4%, to $10.0 million, as compared to $10.6 million for the same period in 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Sales, Gross Profit and Income from Operations in Constant Dollars)

To supplement its financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), Mannatech discloses operating results that have been adjusted to exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, including changes in: Net Sales, Gross Profit, and Income from Operations. It refers to these adjusted financial measures as Constant dollar items, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The company believes these measures provide investors with an additional perspective on trends. To exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, it calculates current year results and prior year results at a constant exchange rate, which is the prior year’s rate. Currency impact is determined as the difference between the actual GAAP results and the recalculated results for the current year at the Constant dollar rates.

The tables below reconcile first quarter 2025 Constant dollar net sales, gross profit and income from operations to GAAP net sales, gross profit and income from operations. (in millions, except percentages):
