Nature’s Sunshine Products, Inc. (NASDAQ:NATR), a leading manufacturer
and marketer of encapsulated herbs and vitamins, today reported
financial operating results for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2009.
For the quarter, net sales revenue totaled $85.8 million, compared to
$92.7 million for the same three-month period in 2008, a 7.4 percent
decline, primarily attributable to the global economic downturn and the
adverse effect of foreign currency fluctuations. Operating income
increased to $6.2 million in the third quarter of 2009, as compared to
$2.1 million in the third quarter of 2008. Net income totaled $2.1
million, compared to a net loss of $0.2 million in the third quarter of
last year. Earnings per share were $0.13, compared to a loss of $0.01
per share for the same period last year. These improvements in operating
and net income were principally due to reduced expenses and volume
incentives.
