USANA Health Sciences Provides Preliminary Fiscal Year 2022 Results and Issues Initial Fiscal Year 2023 Outlook SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)

SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 5, 2023--USANA Health Sciences, Inc. (NYSE: USNA) today announced preliminary fiscal year 2022 results and initial guidance for fiscal year 2023 ahead of its presentation at the 25th Annual

The Company currently anticipates fiscal year 2022 net sales of approximately $995 million and diluted earnings per share of approximately $3.65. The Company's most recently issued fiscal year 2022 guidance anticipated net sales between $955

and $975 million and diluted earnings per share between $3.15 and $3.40. Total Active Customers were approximately 490,000 at year-end. Net sales for the fourth quarter and full-year benefitted from incremental sales in mainland China during

the last two weeks of fiscal 2022, due to increased demand for certain products following the unanticipated shift in COVID policy in this market. While these incremental sales contributed to the Company's better-than-anticipated operating

results for the quarter and year, the Company does not have visibility into whether or how long this increased demand will continue into fiscal year 2023.

"Active Customer counts stabilized during the fourth quarter as key markets in our Asia Pacific region experienced initial signs of easing COVID lockdowns and restrictions," said Kevin Guest, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board.

"As a result of the improving operating environment in most of our markets, and the continued efforts of our team, we anticipate that net sales and diluted EPS for the year will be above the high end of our previous guidance range.

"As we begin 2023, we plan to execute several strategic initiatives, all of which are intended to grow our Active Customer base around the world. These efforts include a return to live sales meetings and events where possible, increased focus

and effort on market expansion, new incentive opportunities for our salesforce, and continued evaluation of accretive acquisition opportunities. The wider-than-typical range of our initial 2023 outlook reflects the continued uncertainty in our

global operating and economic environment in 2023, and the operational challenge of growing our Active Customer counts from a lower base as compared to the beginning of 2022. Our outlook anticipates that Active Customer counts will grow

throughout 2023 as we execute our strategy."

Initial Fiscal Year 2023 Outlook

The Company is issuing its initial net sales and earnings per share outlook for fiscal year 2023 as follows:

Net sales guidance for 2023 reflects: 1) Growing our Active Customer counts throughout the year from a lower starting point as compared to the beginning of fiscal year 2022; 2) Ongoing uncertainty in the operating environment in mainland

China and other Asia Pacific markets; 3) An estimated $30 million unfavorable currency exchange rate impact on net sales; 4) More normalized volume and cadence of planned promotional activity throughout the year as compared to fiscal year 2022;

and 5) Continued progress in our digital marketing efforts to elevate brand awareness and better communicate with a younger demographic.

"The process of increasing our Active Customer base is anticipated to materialize over several quarters, and our strategic initiatives and efforts are aligned with this mindset. The macro-operating and economic environment across our key

markets globally remains dynamic and overall visibility continues to be challenging in certain key markets," said Doug Hekking, Chief Financial Officer. "Accordingly, our initial outlook for fiscal year 2023 reflects a wider than typical range

of financial performance."
