In other recent news, USANA Health Sciences reported its fourth-quarter 2024 earnings, surpassing analyst expectations with an earnings per share (EPS) of $0.64, compared to the forecasted $0.49. The company also exceeded revenue projections, reporting $214 million against the anticipated $208.84 million. Despite these positive results, USANA’s full-year 2025 earnings guidance fell short of expectations, with a projected EPS range of $2.35-$3.00, below the consensus estimate of $2.87. The company also forecasted revenue between $920-1000 million for FY2025, bracketing the consensus estimate of $934.5 million.

USANA’s recent acquisition of Hiya Health, which contributed minimally to the fourth-quarter results, is expected to boost the company’s presence in the children’s health market. The acquisition is projected to contribute $145-$160 million to net sales in 2025. Analysts noted that USANA’s growth strategy includes launching over 20 new products in 2025 and implementing a new associate incentive program to enhance its direct selling model. Additionally, the company ended the year with $182 million in cash reserves, with plans to increase this by $50-$60 million in 2025.

Despite the positive earnings surprise, the company’s stock experienced a significant drop, reflecting investor concerns about USANA’s ability to meet its growth targets amid challenging market conditions. The company acknowledged difficulties in key markets, particularly in the Asia Pacific region, but remains optimistic about its long-term growth strategy. Analysts from firms like Sidoti and Company and D.A. Davidson have shown interest in the company’s promotional strategies and the integration of Hiya Health, highlighting the operational risks and market challenges USANA faces.
