Key Points to Consider

Nu Skin has been contending with ongoing macroeconomic challenges, as inflation has been affecting consumer spending and customer acquisition efforts worldwide. The company has observed lackluster sales performances in key regions, led by consumers opting for more affordable alternatives. Moreover, adverse currency fluctuations have continued to negatively impact NUS's performance.

In the last reported quarter’s earnings call, Nu Skin forecast revenues of $420-$455 million for the second quarter of 2024, indicating a year-over-year decline of 16-9%. It expects adverse foreign currency impacts of 3-4% on revenues. Management projects adjusted earnings of 10-20 cents a share in the second quarter. On a reported basis, NUS anticipates earnings of 1-10 cents for the second quarter.

However, Nu Skin's strategic market expansion, particularly its entry into the India market with a digital-first approach, is an upside. Additionally, effective cost management and operational efficiency, including expense-reduction initiatives and SKU optimization, are likely to have supported the company’s performance in the quarter to be reported.
