Third Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

•

Revenue of $9.5 million decreased 11% compared to $10.7 million in the third quarter of 2024 in part due to the timing of a product promotion and the presale of our new skincare line at the end of September 2025 in Hong Kong.

•

Operating loss was $495,000 compared to $275,000 in the third quarter of 2024 attributable partially to the timing of the product promotion and the new product presale mentioned above, as well as the writeoff of components inventory related to discontinued products during the third quarter of 2025.

Net loss was $431,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to net income of $35,000, or breakeven per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2024. Despite the loss before income taxes, tax expense of $142,000 was recognized in the third quarter.

Management Commentary

“The economic outlook in our largest market remains challenging in the near term. We are undertaking a major restructuring, which we expect will result in $1.5 million annualized savings. Our ongoing measures include optimizing our workforce and relocating product manufacturing to Asia. As part of these restructuring initiatives, we expect to incur a one-time charge of approximately $250,000 in the fourth quarter and anticipate a reduction in our quarterly cash dividend to $0.10 per share beginning in the first quarter next year,” commented Chris Sharng, President of Natural Health Trends Corp.

Mr. Sharng continued, “These actions will enable investments in new systems and technologies, including an AI-enabled marketing app and a member-interface business suite, as well as new marketing initiatives designed to drive member growth and engagement. By aligning costs with global sales performance, we are positioning the company for sustainable growth, profitability, and long-term value creation.”

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

•

Net cash used in operating activities was $5.0 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to $3.5 million in the first nine months of 2024.
