Mannatech, Incorporated, the pioneer of nutritional glycobiology, leading innovator of naturally-sourced supplements based on Real Food Technology® solutions, and creator of the M5M (Mission 5 Million) social entrepreneurial movement, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June30, 2014.
 
Second quarter net sales for 2014 were $46.3 million, an increase of 3.4% as compared to $44.8 million in the second quarter of 2013. Our net sales increased 2.2% in constant dollars, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
 

Net loss was $0.7 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2014, as compared to net income of $0.8 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2013. The second quarter 2014 earnings were negatively impacted primarily by income taxes due to tax return to provision adjustments. Additionally, our income tax expense reflects our uneven performance in various jurisdictions; however, as we work toward being uniformly profitable, we anticipate that our effective tax rate will decrease.

We took charges to the inventory allowance of $0.8 million during the second quarter 2014 which reduced our gross profit margin to 79.0% as compared to 80.6% in the second quarter of 2013.

During the second quarter 2014, we conducted pre-launch activities of our Uth skin care product in our Asia/Pacific region. As a result, we have approximately $2.8 million in pre-orders, which are currently classified as customer deposits on our balance sheet that can be recognized as revenue upon fulfillment in subsequent periods. Moreover, after expensing and paying the commissions associated with these orders, we generated operating cash flow of $7.4 million for the first six months of 2014 as compared to $5.3 million for the same period in 2013.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, our operations outside of North America accounted for approximately 54.9% of our consolidated net sales, whereas in the same period in 2013, our operations outside of North America accounted for approximately 52.4% of our consolidated net sales.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, Asia/Pacific net sales increased by $1.5 million, or 7.5%, to $21.4 million, as compared to $19.9 million for the same period in 2013 primarily because of growth in the number of active associates and growth in the revenue per active associate and member. In constant dollars, net sales would have increased 4.0% to $20.7 million; the currency impact was primarily due to appreciation of the Korean won.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, EMEA net sales increased by $0.4 million, or 11.1%, to $4.0 million, as compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2013. The increases in active associates and members, which generated increased net sales, were partially offset by decreases in revenue per active associates and members. In constant dollars, net sales would have increased 16.7% to $4.2 million; the currency impact was primarily due to the South Africa Rand.

North American net sales decreased by $0.4 million, or 1.9%, to $20.9 million, as compared to $21.3 million for the same period in 2013 due to a decline in active associates and members.

Recruiting decreased 13.0% in the second quarter 2014 as compared to the second quarter of 2013. The number of new independent associates and members for the second quarter of 2014 was approximately 31,500, as compared to 36,200 in 2013. We believe the second quarter comparability of new associates and members is being influenced by our changes to our major market's incentive program criteria, one of which extends the qualification period until the end of the third quarter 2014 whereas the prior year incentive programs terminated early in the third quarter 2013, commented Al Bala, President. The total number of independent associates and members based on a 12-month trailing period was approximately 239,000 as of June 30, 2014, as compared to 240,000 as of June 30, 2013.
