Herbalife 90% Of USA Sales Are Consumer Based

Herbalife today announced that due to the dedication and diligence of its distributors, in May, 90 percent of United States sales were documented purchases by consumers, comprised of more than three million receipted retail transactions.

These results far exceed the 80 percent threshold called for in the Company’s agreement with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.

The Company also announced that approximately 400,000 customers have converted or signed up as preferred members in the U.S. since the program began in October 2016.

“These figures should put an end to any questions regarding demand for our nutrition products and the strength of our go-to-market business model,”

said Richard P. Goudis, CEO, Herbalife Nutrition.

In the past ten months, Herbalife Nutrition created industry-leading technology and tools in partnership with its distributors to help them efficiently document retail sales.

The flexibility of the tools, built on a robust scalable infrastructure, has allowed the Company to track retail sales of products to end-users thereby allowing the Company to collect new marketing data, such as pricing, buying preferences and consumer purchase trends.

This critical information, most of which is new to the Company, will help create significant competitive advantages as Herbalife Nutrition leverages data analytics to provide enhanced, industry-leading personalized support to its distributors and customers.

While the 80 percent threshold is an annual test, the Company believes this one-time off-cycle announcement is important to share with distributors in order to recognize their significant role in achieving this May 2017 milestone. The Company notes, however, these results are based on the Company’s records and are subject to the review of the independent compliance auditor.
