Nature’s Sunshine Products Reports Third Quarter Operating Results

2009-11-06 08:55 ET - News Release


PROVO, Utah -- (Business Wire)

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.
