Nu Skin Second-Quarter Results – $650 Million Revenue Down 3%

by  •  • 0 Comments

 

Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: NUS) today announced second-quarter revenue of $650.0 million, a 3 percent decline over the prior-year period. Revenue was negatively impacted 2 percent by foreign currency fluctuations. Earnings per share for the quarter were $0.32, versus $1.22 in the prior-year period and were impacted by (i) a $50 million write-down of Mainland China inventory; and (ii) a $25 million charge due to a transition to the SICAD II exchange rate in Venezuela, which also increased the company’s effective tax rate for the quarter to 42.0 percent. Excluding these items, earnings per share would have been $1.13 per share for the second quarter.
“Our business performed in-line with our guidance for the quarter, with the exception of the China LTO, which occurred shortly after resuming our promotional efforts and did not meet our expectations,” said Truman Hunt, president and chief executive officer. “We are pleased, however, that we have seen key indicators in China stabilize since we began accepting new sales leader applications in May after a three-month voluntary cessation. Moreover, we recently received a new direct selling license for Wenzhou, China, expanding our direct selling footprint in this important market.
“We will continue to innovate in the dynamic

Mannatech, Incorporated, the pioneer of nutritional glycobiology, leading innovator of naturally-sourced supplements based on Real Food Technology® solutions, and creator of the M5M (Mission 5 Million) social entrepreneurial movement, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June30, 2014.
 
Second quarter net sales for 2014 were $46.3 million, an increase of 3.4% as compared to $44.8 million in the second quarter of 2013. Our net sales increased 2.2% in constant dollars, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
 
Net loss was $0.7 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2014, as compared to net income of $0.8 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2013. The second quarter 2014 earnings were negatively impacted primarily by income taxes due to “tax return to provision” adjustments. Additionally, our income tax expense reflects our uneven performance in various jurisdictions; however, as we work toward being uniformly profitable, we anticipate that our effective tax rate will decrease.
We took charges to the inventory allowance of $0.8 million during the second quarter 2014 which reduced our gross profit margin to 79.0% as compared to 80.6% in the second quarter of 2013.

Talk Fusion Gives Associate Freedom Of Expression

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
 
As inviting as the “working from home” concept is for many people, for others it is literally the only solution for them to earn income.
Alexander Plokhih was born in Arkhangelsk, Russia with infantile cerebral palsy on April 2, 1992. His condition was so severe that he could not speak; in fact, he could not even sit up.
“Thanks to my parents my physical status finally became better,” Alexander recalls. “I had special treatment including two serious surgeries. I finished special school for disabled children. I wanted to continue my education but our educational institutions have no facilities for people such as me. I couldn’t receive full time education.”
Alexander was determined, however, and took it upon himself to complete computer training courses and became a programmer. Even this accomplishment proved insufficient to help his family deal with his mounting medical bills.
“My invalidity pension is very small, so I worked as a moderator and web-designer. But my father told me that I would never earn enough money in that line of work.”
Alexander sought out Relationship Marketing Companies that would allow him to work from home, but met with constant rejection due to his illness. Then he found out about Talk Fusion.
“In that moment,

Ambit Energy Introduces Power Payback

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
Ambit Energy, a leading national retail energy provider, is introducing its Power Payback program to reward Texas customers who reduce energy use during periods of extreme electricity demand. The program provides users with bill credit if they reduce their consumption during designated time periods.
“We’ve already rewarded our customers for making referrals with our Free Energy program,” said Ambit Energy Co-Founder and CEO Jere Thompson, Jr. “It seemed like a logical next step to also pay them back when they help reduce the strain on the power grid during periods of extreme electricity demand.”
Under the program, customers in Texas who have Smart Meters will receive advance notification of an impending period of extreme electricity demand. They then have the opportunity to cut back on their electricity use during the specified time. If their electricity usage during this time is lower than their average from the same time period over the previous five weekdays, they receive a bill credit of $1.00 for every kilowatt-hour saved.
“Power Payback is the easiest and most generous program of its kind in the Texas market,” Thompson says. “In fact, with automatic enrollment, our customers don’t even have to sign up. These simple savings come in the form of $1.00 per kilowatt-hour bill
