Management Commentary

“Our third quarter results were adversely impacted by extended and ongoing COVID-related measures in China,”

commented Chris Sharng, President of Natural Health Trends Corp.

“Despite the unpredictable environment our members must navigate through, they continue to work hard to share our superior health, wellness and beauty products and we continue to support them with new reward programs, virtual events, promotions and cautiously planned and executed incentive trips and trainings.”

Mr. Sharng continued,

We believe this online focus will be a key driver for future growth and enhanced productivity, in support of shareholder value.”
