Usna, Mslp.ob, & Ltm: Musclepharm Adds Former U.s. Assistant Surgeon General

USANA Health Sciences, Inc

USANA Health Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: USNA)

USANA develops and manufactures high quality nutritional, personal care, and weight management products that are sold directly to Associates and Preferred Customers throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Mexico, Malaysia, the Philippines, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.

USANA Health Sciences has recently recorded their financial results for its fiscal second quarter ended July 3, 2010.

Net sales in the second quarter of 2010 improved 12.4% to $126.0 million, compared with $112.1 million in the second quarter of the prior year. This increase was due to an overall increase in product sales, driven primarily by a 5% increase in the number of active Associates, which is the result of continued growth in the Asia Pacific region. Additionally, favorable changes in currency exchange rates accounted for $5.2 million of the increase in net sales for the second quarter of 2010.

Net earnings in the second quarter of 2010 increased 22.5% to $10.8 million, or $0.69 per share, compared with $8.8 million, or $0.57 per share, in the second quarter of the prior year. This year-over-year increase resulted from higher net sales and improved gross profit margins. These improvements, however, were partially offset by higher Associate incentives expenses and higher selling, general and administrative expenses.
