We are seeing a strong response to our new Collagen product, which launched in June in conjunction with Activate 2022, our recent distributor meeting in Salt Lake City. Momentum also continues to build in our Asia/Pacific & Europe region, where revenue increased 4% sequentially compared to the third quarter aided by an 8% increase in active independent distributors, in part reflecting a strong response to our recent Philippines launch. Entering fiscal 2023, our team is highly energized and we are well positioned to continue our customer-centric transformation by leveraging our powerful innovation platform as well as optimizing marketing through expanded adoption and capability enhancements to our proprietary digital tools.”

    Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2022 Results

    For the fourth fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company reported revenue of $50.9 million, a 7.0% decrease over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. Excluding the negative impact of foreign currency fluctuations, fourth quarter revenue was down 3.1%. Revenue in the Americas for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 decreased 10.5% compared to the prior year period and was partially offset by gains in the Asia/Pacific & Europe region where revenue increased 0.7%.

    Gross profit for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 was $41.6 million, or 81.7% of revenue, compared to $45.0 million, or 82.1% of revenue, for the same period in fiscal 2021. The decline in gross profit margin was due to increased raw material and manufacturing related costs, inventory obsolescence costs, higher shipping expenses, and mix shifts related to product and geography.

    Commissions and incentives expense for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 was $24.5 million, or 48.1% of revenue, compared to $25.6 million, or 46.7% of revenue, for the same period in fiscal 2021. The increase in commissions and incentives expense as a percentage of revenue is due mainly to an increase in the number of qualifiers and related costs associated with the recently completed incentive program.

    Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 was $15.6 million, or 30.6% of revenue, compared to $12.8 million, or 23.4% of revenue, for the same period in fiscal 2021. Adjusted for nonrecurring expenses, which are detailed in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation tables included at the end of this press release, adjusted non-GAAP SG&A expense for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 was $16.6 million, or 32.6% of revenue, compared to adjusted non-GAAP SG&A expense for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 of $13.6 million, or 24.8% of revenue. The increase in adjusted non-GAAP SG&A expense was primarily attributable to higher event related costs, an increase in labor and benefits expenses, higher stock-based compensation expense, and certain severance related costs incurred in the quarter.

    Operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 was $1.5 million, compared to $6.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. Accounting for the non-GAAP adjustments noted previously, adjusted non-GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 was $0.5 million compared to $5.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.

    Net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 was $1.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share. This compares to net income of $4.9 million, or $0.35 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. Accounting for the non-GAAP adjustments noted previously, net of tax, adjusted non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 was $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to adjusted non-GAAP net income of $4.3 million, or $0.31 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.

    Adjusted EBITDA was $1.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 versus $6.6 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2021.

    Fiscal 2022 Full Year Results

    For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the Company reported net revenue of $206.4 million, a decrease of 6.3% compared to $220.2 million for fiscal 2021. In fiscal 2022, revenue in the Americas decreased 10.6% which was partially offset by revenue in Asia/Pacific & Europe which increased 3.8%. Revenue for fiscal 2022 was negatively impacted by $4.5 million, or 2.0%, by foreign currency fluctuations.

    Gross profit during fiscal 2022 was $168.3 million, or 81.5% of revenue, compared to $182.0 million, or 82.7% of revenue, for fiscal 2021. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to increased raw material and manufacturing related costs, inventory obsolescence costs, higher shipping expenses, and mix shifts related to product and geography.

    Commissions and incentives expense for fiscal 2022 was $97.3 million, or 47.1% of revenue, compared to $103.5 million, or 47.0% of revenue, for fiscal 2021. The increase in commissions and incentives expense as a percentage of revenue reflects the timing and magnitude of our various promotional and incentive programs during the year.

    SG&A expense for fiscal 2022 was $63.4 million, or 30.7% of revenue, compared to $60.8 million, or 27.6% of revenue, for fiscal 2021. Adjusted for nonrecurring expenses and recoveries, which are detailed in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation tables included at the end of this press release, adjusted non-GAAP SG&A expense for fiscal 2022 was $63.3 million, or 30.7% of revenue, compared to adjusted non-GAAP SG&A expense for fiscal 2021 of $59.2 million, or 26.9% of revenue. The increase in non-GAAP SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to increased events and travel expenses as a result of changes to our event schedule and the easing of COVID-19 related travel and associated group meeting restrictions partially offset by decreases in incentive compensation, executive severance and transition expenses.

    Operating income for fiscal 2022 was $7.6 million, or 3.7% of revenue, compared to $17.6 million, or 8.0% of revenue, for fiscal 2021. Accounting for non-GAAP adjustments noted previously, adjusted non-GAAP operating income for fiscal 2022 was $7.7 million, or 3.7% of revenue, compared to $19.2 million, or 8.7% of revenue, for fiscal 2021.

    Net income for fiscal 2022 was $3.1 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to $12.9 million, or $0.90 per diluted share for fiscal 2021. Accounting for the non-GAAP adjustments noted previously, net of tax, adjusted non-GAAP net income for fiscal 2022 was $5.3 million, or $0.41 per diluted share compared to $14.3 million, or $1.00 per diluted share in fiscal 2021.

    Adjusted EBITDA was $12.8 million for fiscal 2022 compared to $24.8 million for fiscal 2021.

    Balance Sheet & Liquidity

    The Company generated $8.0 million of cash from operations during fiscal 2022 compared to $16.3 million during fiscal 2021. The Company's cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2022 were $20.2 million, compared to $23.2 million at June 30, 2021 and there was no debt outstanding. During the full year ended June 30, 2022, the Company repurchased approximately $1.3 million common shares for $8.8 million under its share repurchase program.

    Dividend Announcement

    The Company's Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per share of common stock, or approximately $0.4 million in the aggregate. The dividend will be paid on September 15, 2022 to all stockholders of record at the close of business on September 2, 2022.

    Fiscal Year 2023 Guidance

    The Company expects to generate revenue in the range of $200 million to $212 million in fiscal year 2023 and adjusted EBITDA of $12 million to $14 million, with adjusted earnings per share in the range of $0.27 to $0.39, which assumes a full year tax rate of approximately 26%. This guidance reflects the current trends in the business. The Company's guidance for adjusted non-GAAP EBITDA and adjusted non-GAAP earnings per diluted share excludes any non-operating or non-recurring expenses that may materialize during fiscal 2023. The Company is not providing guidance for GAAP earnings per diluted share for fiscal 2023 due to the potential occurrence of one or more non-operating, one-time expenses, which the Company does not believe it can reliably predict.

    About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    We define Non-GAAP EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, other income, net, and certain other adjustments. Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We define Non-GAAP Net Income as GAAP net income less certain tax adjusted non-recurring one-time expenses incurred during the period and Non-GAAP Earnings per Share as Non-GAAP Net Income divided by weighted-average shares outstanding.

    We are presenting Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share because management believes that they provide additional ways to view our operations when considered with both our GAAP results and the reconciliation to net income, which we believe provides a more complete understanding of our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share are presented solely as supplemental disclosure because: (i) we believe these measures are a useful tool for investors to assess the operating performance of the business without the effect of these items; (ii) we believe that investors will find this data useful in assessing shareholder value; and (iii) we use Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share internally as benchmarks to evaluate our operating performance or compare our performance to that of our competitors. The use of Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings per Share has limitations and you should not consider these measures in isolation from or as an alternative to the relevant GAAP measure of net income prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of profitability or liquidity.

    The tables set forth below present reconciliations of Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings per Share, which are non-GAAP financial measures to Net Income and Earnings per Share, our most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
