LOS ANGELES, February 17th, 2021 -
Herbalife Nutrition Ltd. (NYSE: HLF) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2020.
"In 2020, we saw our best year ever with record net sales as our distributors met the global demand for better nutrition," said John Agwunobi, Chairman and
CEO of Herbalife Nutrition.
QUARTER AND FULL YEAR HIGHLIGHTS
1 Adjusted diluted EPS is a non-GAAP measure and excludes the impact of: non-cash interest
expense and amortization associated with the Company's convertible notes, expenses related to regulatory inquiries and legal accruals, contingent value rights
revaluation, income related to finalization of insurance recoveries, debt issuance costs related to the senior secured credit facility amendment, Mexico VAT assessment, and net expenses related to the COVID-19 pandemic. See Schedule A -
"Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a detailed reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP and a reconciliation of adjusted diluted EPS to diluted EPS calculated in accordance with GAAP
and a discussion of why we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful. See the "Outlook" discussion below and the related footnotes for additional information regarding adjusted diluted EPS guidance.

to the China Growth and Impact Investment Program of approximately $13.7 million or $0.08 per diluted share. 2019 results were impacted by China grant income of approximately $31.5 million, or $0.16 per diluted share and expenses related to the
China Growth and Impact Investment Program of approximately $19.6 million or $0.10 per diluted share.

share count and a discussion of why the share count has been adjusted for purposes of calculating adjusted diluted EPS for full year 2019.

related to the China Growth and Impact Investment Program of approximately $5.9 million or $0.03 per diluted share. Fourth Quarter 2019 results were impacted by China grant income of approximately $3.8 million, or $0.02 per diluted share and

Supplemental Information
SCHEDULE A: RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Unaudited and unreviewed), (All tables provide Dollars in millions, except per Share Data)
In addition to its reported results and guidance calculated in accordance with GAAP, the Company has included in this release adjusted net income and
adjusted diluted EPS, performance measures that the Securities and Exchange Commission defines as "non-GAAP financial measures." Management believes that such non-GAAP financial measures, when read in conjunction with the Company's reported or
forecasted results, in each case calculated in accordance with GAAP, can provide useful supplemental information for investors because they facilitate a period to period comparative assessment of the Company's operating performance relative to its
performance based on reported or forecasted results under GAAP, while isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance and eliminate certain charges that management believes
do not reflect the Company's operations and underlying operational performance. The Company's definition of adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies
because other companies may not calculate them in the same manner as the Company does and should not be viewed in isolation from nor as alternatives to net income or diluted EPS calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The impact of foreign currency fluctuations in Venezuela and the price increases the Company implements as a result of the highly inflationary economy in
that market can each, when considered in isolation, have a disproportionately large impact to the Company's consolidated results despite the offsetting nature of these drivers and that net sales in Venezuela, which represent less than 1% of the
Company's consolidated net sales, are not material to our consolidated results. Therefore, in certain instances, the Company believes it is helpful to provide additional information with respect to these factors as reported and excluding the impact
of Venezuela to illustrate the disproportionate nature of Venezuela's individual pricing and foreign exchange impact to the Company's consolidated results. However, excluding the impact of Venezuela from these measures is not in accordance with
U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to the presentation and discussion thereof calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The following is a reconciliation of net income, presented and reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, to net income adjusted for certain items:

The following table is a reconciliation of diluted shares outstanding, as presented and reported in accordance with GAAP, to adjusted diluted shares outstanding, adjusted to include the impact of outstanding capped call transactions in 2019.
The Company's outstanding capped call transactions were anti-dilutive and not included in GAAP earnings per share for 2019 because they were intended to mitigate the dilutive effect of the Company's convertible notes due 2019, if the trading
price of the Company's stock exceeded the conversion price, up to a certain level. Therefore, the Company has adjusted the diluted shares outstanding to include the impact of the capped calls, based on the average share price for the period that
the capped calls were anti-dilutive.

(1) Based on interim income tax reporting rules, these expenses are not considered discrete items. As a result, the Company's full year effective tax rate is impacted by these items. When applying the full year effective tax rate
to year-to-date income, the Company's year-to-date tax provision recorded with respect to these non-GAAP adjustments is different from the forecasted full-year tax provision impact of these items. As a consequence, adjustments to the year-to-date
and quarterly tax impacts will be recorded as the adjusted full year effective tax rate is applied to income in subsequent periods. Additionally, adjustments to items unrelated to these non-GAAP adjustments may have an effect on the income tax
impact of these non-GAAP adjustments in subsequent periods.
