Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Certain Risks

This report contains, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including any projections of earnings, revenue or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new products; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements of belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “believe,” “project,” “estimate,” “expect,” “strategy,” “future,” “likely,” “may,” “should,” “will” and similar references to future periods. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those we project or assume in our forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and to inherent risks and uncertainties, such as those disclosed or incorporated by reference in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Any forward-looking statement made by us in this report is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments, the occurrence of unanticipated events or otherwise. Important factors that could cause our actual results, performance and achievements to differ materially from estimates or projections contained in our forward-looking statements in this report include, among others, the following:

Our dependence upon the direct selling business model to distribute our products and the activities of our independent Associates;

Extensive regulation of our business model and uncertainties relating to the interpretation and enforcement of applicable laws and regulations governing direct selling and anti-pyramiding, particularly in the United States and China;

The operation and expansion of our business in China through our subsidiary, BabyCare Holdings, Ltd. (“Babycare”), including risks related to (i) operating in China in general, (ii) engaging in direct selling in China, (iii) BabyCare’s business model in China, and (iv) changes in the Chinese economy, marketplace or consumer environment;

Unanticipated effects of changes to our Compensation Plan;

Challenges associated with our planned expansion into new international markets, delays in commencement of sales or product offerings in such markets, delays in compliance with local marketing or other regulatory requirements, or changes in target markets;

Uncertainty related to the magnitude, scope and duration of the impact of the novel strain coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic (“COVID-19” or the “COVID-19 pandemic”) to our business, operations and financial results, including, for example, additional regulatory measures or voluntary actions that may be put in place to limit the spread of COVID-19 in the markets where we operate, such as restrictions on business operations, shelter at home, or social distancing requirements;

Political events, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics or other health crises including, and in addition to, COVID-19 or other events that may negatively affect economic conditions, consumer spending or consumer behavior;

Changes to trade policies and tariffs, the impact of customs, duties, taxation, and transfer pricing regulations, as well as regulations governing distinctions between and our responsibilities to employees and independent contractors;

Volatile fluctuation in the value of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar;

Shortages of raw materials, disruptions in the business of our contract manufacturers, significant price increases of key raw materials, and other disruptions to our supply chain;

Our continued compliance with debt covenants in our credit facility, and;

The outcome of the internal investigation into our China operations.

(unaudited)

NOTE A ORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION, AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

USANA Health Sciences, Inc. develops and manufactures high-quality, science-based nutritional and personal care/skincarecare products that are sold internationally through a global network marketing system, which is a form of direct selling. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (the “Financial Statements”) include the accounts and operations of USANA Health Sciences, Inc., a Utah corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “USANA”) in two2 geographic regions: (1) Asia Pacific, and (2) Americas and Europe. Asia Pacific is further divided into three3 sub-regions: (i) Greater China, (ii) Southeast Asia Pacific, and (iii) North Asia. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The countries included in these regions and sub-regions are as follows:

(1)Asia Pacific -

(i)Greater China includes- Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China; China. The Company’s business in China is conducted by BabyCare Holdings, Ltd., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary.

(ii)Southeast Asia Pacific includes Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia; Indonesia.

(iii)North Asia includes Japan and South Korea.

(2)Americas and Europe includes the United States, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Romania, Belgium, and the Netherlands.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2018,28, 2019, derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).SEC. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures that are normally included in financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial information contains all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that are necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 30, 201928, 2020 and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 201828, 2020 and March 30, 2019.2019.

The interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2018.28, 2019. The results of operations for the three months ended March 30, 2019,28, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending DecemberJanuary 2, 2021.

The Company considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding the global pandemic involving the novel strain of coronavirus known as COVID-19 to assess whether a triggering event had occurred that would result in a potential impairment of goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets, and long-lived assets. Based on this assessment, the Company concluded that a triggering event has not occurred which would require further impairment testing to be performed. The Company’s operations were not materially affected by COVID-19 for the three months ended March 28, 2019.2020. While the Company did not incur significant disruptions to its operations during the first quarter of 2020 from COVID-19, it is unable at this time to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on its business, financial position and operating results in future periods due to numerous uncertainties and is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted accounting pronouncements

In February 2016,August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).”  ASU 2016-02 is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Additionally, the ASU requires disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases, including qualitative and quantitative requirements. The update requires lessees to apply a modified retrospective approach for recognition and disclosure, beginning with the earliest period presented. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842)”—Targeted Improvements, which allows an additional transition method to adopt the new lease standard at the adoption date, as compared to the beginning of the earliest period presented, and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption.

NOTE A — ORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION, AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company adopted Topic 842 in the first quarter of 2019, using the transition method per ASU 2018-11.  Accordingly, all periods prior to December 30, 2018 were presented in accordance with the previous Topic 840, Leases, and no retrospective adjustments were made to the comparative periods presented.  As a result of the adoption on December 30, 2018, the Company, recorded operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets of $19,671 and operating lease liabilities of $20,010 (of which, $7,120 was current and $12,890 was non-current) on the Company’s balance sheet for facility and equipment lease agreements.  Additionally, the Company has prepaid land use rights related to production facilities in China of $6,853 that were reclassified to ROU assets.  The Company utilized the incremental borrowing rate for the remaining lease term and remaining minimum rental payments for the calculation of the lease liability at the adoption date.  Consistent with the treatment under Topic 840, the Company has excluded the portion of fixed rental payments attributable to executory costs such as taxes, insurance and maintenance in the determination of the future minimum rental payments for purposes of calculation of the lease liability at the adoption date.  The Company does not have significant finance leases.

As part of the adoption of Topic 842, the Company made the following practical expedient elections:

·                  The Company elected the package of practical expedients to not reassess prior conclusions related to contracts containing leases, lease classification and initial direct costs for all leases

·                  The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient, for all leases.

·                  The Company did not elect the land easement practical expedient.

The adoption of Topic 842 had a material impact to the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, but did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income.  The most significant changes to the consolidated balance sheets relate to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. The adoption of Topic 842 also had no material impact on operating, investing, or financing cash flows in the consolidated statement of cash flows. However, Topic 842 has affected the Company’s disclosures about noncash activities relating to the initial recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities. Additionally, the Company’s lease-related disclosures have increased as of and for the period ended March 30, 2019.  See Note B - Operating Leases for additional information regarding the Company’s lease policies under the new standard.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.”  ASU 2017-12 better aligns an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. To satisfy that objective, the amendments expand and refine hedge accounting for both non-financial and financial risk components, and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements.  For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company adopted ASU 2017-12 during the quarter ended March 30, 2019 and the adoption of the standard did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The modifications removed the following disclosure requirements: (i) the amount of, and reasons for, transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; (ii) the policy for timing of transfers between levels; and (iii) the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU added the following disclosure requirements: (i) the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period; and (ii) the range and weighted average of significant observableunobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses,the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expectadopted ASU 2018-13 during the quarter ended March 28, 2020 and the adoption of ASU 2018-13 willthe standard did not have a materialan impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.” ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract will be expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The amendments can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the adoption date. The Company does not expectadopted ASU 2018-15 during the quarter ended March 28, 2020 and the adoption of ASU 2018-15 willthe standard did not have an impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the quarter had, or is expected to have, a material impacton itsthe Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE B — OPERATING LEASES

With the exception of the Company’s headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah and its facilities in New South Wales, Australia, and in Beijing and Tianjin, China, the Company generally leases its facilities.  Each of the facility lease agreements is a non-cancelable operating lease generally structured with renewal options and expire prior to or during 2026.  In connection with the production facilities in Beijing and Tianjin, China, the Company has prepaid land use rights that are considered under the guidance for lease accounting.  The Company utilizes equipment under non-cancelable operating leases, expiring through 2022.

At contract inception, the Company determines whether an arrangement is or contains a lease and whether the lease should be classified as an operating or a financing lease.  A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.  Control is determined based on the right to obtain all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset and the right to direct the use of the identified asset.  ROU assets for operating leases represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and operating lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments.

(in thousands, except per share data)

(unaudited)

NOTE B — OPERATING LEASES — CONTINUED

Lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date for leases exceeding 12 months.  Minimum lease payments include only the fixed lease component of the agreement, as well as any variable rate payments that depend on an index, initially measured using the index at the lease commencement date.  Non-lease components are accounted for separately from the fixed lease component for all leases.  Most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate that can readily be determined. Therefore, the applied discount rate is based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, which is determined using its credit rating and other information available as of the commencement date and is the rate of interest it would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms.  Lease terms may include options to renew when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.  The ROU asset is measured at the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred less any lease incentives received.

Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income.  Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet, and the expense for these short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company monitors for events or changes in circumstances that require a reassessment of its leases. When a reassessment results in the remeasurement of a lease liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the ROU asset unless doing so would reduce the ROU asset to an amount less than zero, in which case the remaining adjustment would be recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The following table summarizes the classification of lease assets and lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet:

NOTE C — FAIR VALUE MEASURES

The Company measures at fair value certain of its financial and non-financial assets and liabilities by using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, essentially an exit price, based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

·Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.

·Level 2 inputs are from other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

·Level 3 inputs are unobservable and are used to measure fair value in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The Company receives payment, primarily via credit card, for the sale of products at the time customers place orders and payment is required prior to shipment. Contract liabilities, which are recorded within Otherthe “Other current liabilitiesliabilities” line item in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily relate to deferred revenue for product sales for customer payments received in advance of shipment, for outstanding material rights under the initial order program, and for services where control is transferred over time as services are delivered.

Other revenue includes fees, which are paid by the customer at the beginning of the service period, for access to online customer service applications and annual account renewal fees for Associates, for which control is transferred over time as services are delivered and are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective contracts.

NOTE G —E – LINE OF CREDIT

The Company has a $75,000 line of credit (“Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America (‘(“Bank”). Interest is computed at the Bank’s Prime Rate or a LIBOR plusLIBOR-plus “Eurodollar” rate, adjusted by features specified in the Credit Agreement. The collateral for this line of credit is the pledge of the capital stock of certain subsidiaries of the Company, pursuant to a separate pledge agreement with the Bank. On February 19, 2016, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with the Bank, which extendsextended the term of the Credit Agreement to April 27, 2021 and increasesincreased the Company’s consolidated rolling four-quarter adjusted EBITDA covenant to $100,000 or greater and its ratio of consolidated funded debt to adjusted EBITDA of equal to or less than 2.0 to 1.0 at the end of each quarter.

On July 15, 2019, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment established a procedure for the Company to request an increase in the line of credit by an amount not to exceed $125,000 (up to $200,000 in the aggregate). The Company may make a maximum of 3 such requests in increments of at least $25,000 to the Bank. The Bank, at its election, will notify the Company whether or not it agrees to increase the line of credit and, if so, whether by an amount equal to or less than the amount requested by the Company. The line of credit will be automatically reduced to $100,000, as of September 30, 2020.

The adjusted EBITDA under the Credit Agreement is modified for certain non-cash expenses. Any existing bank guarantees are considered a reduction of the overall availability of credit and part of the covenant calculation under the Credit Agreement. This provision resulted in a $6,619$9,234 and $6,001$8,924 reduction in the available borrowing limit as of March 28, 2020 and December 29, 2018 and March 30,28, 2019, respectively, due to existing normal course of business guarantees in certain markets.

There was no0 outstanding debt on this line of credit at December 29, 2018March 28, 2020 or at March 30,December 28, 2019. The Company will be required to pay any balance on this line of credit in full at the time of maturity in April 2021 unless the Credit Agreement is replaced or its terms are renegotiated. Due to the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and to ensure the availability of additional liquidity under the Credit Agreement, subsequent to March 28, 2020, the Company drew on the line of credit is replaced or terms are renegotiated.for $60,000.

NOTE I G – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s risk management strategy includes the select use of derivative instruments to reduce the effects of volatility in foreign currency exchange exposure on operating results and cash flows. In accordance with the Company’s risk management policies, the Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at their respective fair values. When the Company becomes a party to a derivative instrument and intends to apply hedge accounting, the Company formally documents the hedge relationship and the risk management objective for undertaking the hedge, the nature of risk being hedged, and the hedged transaction, which includes designating the instrument for financial reporting purposes as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge, or a net investment hedge. The Company also documents how the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively, and a description of the method used to measure ineffectiveness.

The Company periodically uses derivative hedging instruments to hedge the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in its non U.S. subsidiaries designed to hedge a portion of the foreign currency exposure that arises on translation of the foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars. Initially, the Company records derivative assets on a gross basis in ourits condensed consolidated balance sheets. Subsequently the fair value of derivatives is measured for each reporting period. The effective portion of gains and losses attributable to these net investment hedges is recorded to foreign currency translation adjustment (“FCTA”) within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) to offset the change in the carrying value of the net investment being hedged, and will subsequently be reclassified to net earnings in the period in which the hedged investment in the subsidiary is either sold or substantially liquidated.

As of December 29, 2018, there were no derivatives outstanding for which the Company has applied hedge accounting.  During the first quarter ofthree months ended March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019, the Company entered into a European option designated as a net investment hedge with a notional valueamount of $110,000.  As of$90,000 and $110,000, respectively.

Because we have operations in multiple markets, with sales and expenses being generated and incurred in multiple currencies, our reported U.S. dollar sales and earnings can be significantly affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates. In general, our operating results are affected positively by a weakening of the U.S. dollar and negatively by a strengthening of the U.S. dollar. During the three months ended March 28, 2020, net sales outside of the United States represented 90.5% of consolidated net sales. In our net sales discussions that follow, we approximate the impact of currency fluctuations on net sales by translating current year sales at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparable periods of the prior year.

Trends Affecting Our Business – COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated COVID-19 as a global pandemic. COVID-19, which is believed to have originated in Wuhan City, China, has spread and significantly impacted various countries around the world, including the United States and the other markets in which USANA sells products and has operations. Various policies and initiatives have been implemented around the world to reduce the spread of COVID-19, including work-from-home requirements or requests, shelter-in-place requirements, social distancing requirements, travel restrictions or bans in and to certain countries, the closure of retail stores, restaurants and other business establishments and the cancellation of major sporting and entertainment events. Local, state and national governments continue to emphasize the importance of overall health, wellness and nutrition during this pandemic and have allowed, and requested, that manufacturers of nutritional supplements and health food products, such as USANA, remain open to meet the needs of the general public. Consequently, as of the date of this report, we can report that (i) our manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and China remain fully operational, (ii) we continue to sell and distribute products in each of our markets throughout the world, and (iii) we have not experienced any meaningful disruption to our world-wide supply chain, though it is possible that disruptions could occur if the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact markets around the world for a prolonged period of time.

The health and safety of our employees and customers around the world remains our top priority. We launched Celavive®are also committed to being socially responsible as a corporate leader in every market except Chinaeach of our markets and doing our part to reduce the spread of COVID-19. As such, we modified our business operations in each of our markets during the first quarter pursuant to applicable guidelines from government and health officials. During the quarter, we implemented a work-from-home plan for all non-manufacturing and non-distribution employees. Although our manufacturing and distribution employees continue to work on site, they are following additional health and safety guidelines. While we have historically maintained high standards for safety and sanitation in manufacturing, we have raised those standards with additional measures, including body temperature monitoring, social distancing, and mandatory use of face masks. Also, where possible, we have adjusted shift schedules, time and attendance policies, and sick-leave policies to promote safety and flexibility. In nearly all of our markets, we have also temporarily closed product will-call centers and are instead offering curbside delivery and subsidized shipping to customers. Finally, we have a risk management team in place monitoring the rapidly evolving COVID-19 situation and recommending risk mitigation actions where necessary.

Our Associate sales force has also modified their business operations as a result of COVID-19. While many of our Associates have transitioned over the last several years to doing business online through social media, person-to-person and face-to-face selling remains an important part of our business and of direct selling in general. Consequently, as a result of the social distancing and stay-at-home orders put in place across all of our markets, our Associates have also been required to modify their business practices to conduct the entirety of their business virtually. We are doing what we can to assist our Associates in their efforts, including providing increased sales, technology and systems support in each of our markets.

While the overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 28, 2020 was not material, the social distancing, shelter-at-home and other efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19 began to negatively affect our momentum and operating results late in the first quarter. To promote the safety and health of our customers, employees and the general public, we chose to cancel several significant in-person Associate events and incentive trips during the first quarter and we have also cancelled certain upcoming events and converted others to virtual events. While the overall impact that the COVID-19 pandemic, and the measures taken to restrain the spread of 2018 and launched in China latethe virus, will have on our operating results remains uncertain, we expect it to negatively affect our results in the thirdsecond quarter and throughout the remainder of 2018.the year, and the negative impact may continue well beyond the containment of the outbreak. The extent of the disruption to our business in each of our markets going forward will depend on a host of factors, many of which are outside of our control. We will, however, actively continue working to safeguard against additional disruptions to our business, particularly through strategic efforts to sure up (i) raw material procurement, manufacturing and distribution; (ii) product sales and operating cash flows; (iii) liquidity and capital resources; and (iv) Associate and employee engagement and activity.

While we expect to continue to fund our business with cash flow from operations and believe that we have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our cash needs, we cannot assure you that this will be the case due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition or longer-term financial or operational results remains uncertain. However, we continue to evaluate and take action, as necessary, to preserve adequate liquidity and ensure that our business can continue to operate at full strength during these uncertain times. For instance, we are taking action to align spending with sales performance and defer non-essential capital investments amid the COVID-19 pandemic. To further enhance our financial flexibility, we also (i) drew $60.0 million on our line of credit subsequent to March 28, 2020 to ensure availability of additional liquidity under our credit facility, and (ii) have temporarily suspended our share repurchase program. Based on the actions we have taken and our assumptions regarding the impact of COVID-19, we believe that our current financial resources and cash flows from operations are sufficient to fund our liquidity requirements.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law. The CARES Act provides a substantial stimulus and assistance package intended to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including tax relief and government loans, grants and investments. The CARES Act did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 28, 2020. We continue to monitor any effects that may result from the CARES Act.

Customers

Because we sell our products to a customer base of independent Associates and Preferred Customers, we increase our sales by increasing the number of our active Customers, the amount they spend on average, or both. Our primary focus continues to be increasing the number of active Customers. We believe this focus is consistent with our vision of improving the overall health and nutrition of individuals and families around the world. Sales to Associates account for approximately 58% of product sales during the three months ended March 28, 2020; the remainder of our sales are to Preferred Customers. Increases or decreases in product sales are typically the result of variations in the volume of product sold relating to fluctuations in the number of active Customers purchasing our products. The number of active Associates and Preferred Customers is, therefore, used by management as a key non-financial indicator to evaluate our operational performance.

We believe that our ability to attract and retain active Customers is positively influenced by a number of factors, including our high-quality product offerings and the general public’s heightened awareness and understanding of the connection between diet and long-term health. Additionally, we believe that our Associate compensation plan and the general public’s growing desire for a secondary source of income and small business ownership are key to our ability to attract and retain Associates. We periodically make changes to our Compensation Plan in an effort to ensure that our planit is among the most competitive plans in the industry, to encourage behavior that we believe leads to a successful business for our Associates, and to ensure that our plan provides us with leverage to grow sales and earnings. Additionally, the initiatives we are executing under our customer experience, and our social media, and social sharing strategies are designed to promote active Customer growth.

To further support our Associates in building their businesses, we traditionally sponsor meetings and events throughout the year, which offer information about our products and our network marketing system. These meetings are designed to assist Associates in their business development and to provide a forum for interaction with our Associate leaders and members of our management team.  We also provide low cost sales tools, including online sales, business management, and training tools, which we believe are an integral part ofintended to support our Associates in building and maintaining a successful home-based business for our Associates.business. Although we provide training and sales tools, we ultimately rely on our Associates to sell our products, attract new active Customers to purchase our products, and educate and train new Associates.

Because we have operations We sponsor meetings designed to assist Associates in multiple markets,their business development and to provide a forum for interaction with salesour Associate leaders and expenses being generated and incurredmembers of our management team. As noted above in multiple currencies, our reported U.S. dollar sales and earnings can be significantly affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.  In general, our operating results are affected positively by a weakening of the U.S. dollar and negatively by a strengthening of the U.S. dollar.  During the three months ended March 30, 2019, net sales outside of the United States represented 90.8% of consolidated net sales.  In our net sales discussions that follow, we approximate the impact of currency fluctuations on net sales by translating current year sales at the average exchange rates in effectthis report, during the comparable periodsfirst quarter we chose to either cancel several of the prior year.

Because we sell our productsthese types of meetings and other Associate events, or change them to virtual events, as a customer base of independent Associates and Preferred Customers, we increase our sales by increasing the number of our active Customers, the amount they spend on average, or both.  Our primary focus continues to be increasing the number of active Customers.  We believe this focus is consistent with our vision of improving the overall health and nutrition of individuals and families around the world.  Sales to Associates account for approximately 59% of product sales during the three months ended March 30, 2019; the remainder of our sales are to Preferred Customers.  Increases or decreases in product sales are typically the result of variations in the volumeCOVID-19. Additionally, upcoming Associate meetings and events of product sold relatingthis nature have either been cancelled or changed to fluctuations in the numbervirtual events.

Results of Operations

Summary of Financial Results

Net sales for the first quarter of 20192020 decreased 6.5%2.3% to $273.0$266.6 million, a decrease of $19.0$6.4 million, compared with the first quarter of 2018.prior-year quarter. This decrease resulted from (i)was due primarily to the unfavorable impact of a lackstrengthening U.S. dollar, which impacted net sales by $6.6 million during the quarter. Measures taken to contain the spread of promotional activityCOVID-19 in each of our markets around the world during the quarter; (ii) negative mediaalso began to negatively impact net sales later in China regarding the health products and direct sales industries, which was associated with the Chinese government’s 100-day review of these industries during the quarter; and (iii) a negative impact of $13.3 million related to unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates.

Although our 2019 operating plan contains escalating promotional activity throughout 2019, it contained very little activity during the first quarter. This was the case because we align our annual operating plan and promotional calendar to offer additional promotions and incentives at strategic times throughout the year to drive momentum.  While we believed the plan as a whole was well developed, the lack of promotional activity during the first quarter had a more significantand are expected to further impact on our worldwide momentum than we anticipated.  Promotional activity in our various markets is commencingnet sales in the second quarter and throughout the remainder of 2019 and the intent of this activity is to generate sales and customer growth around the world.  While we believe that we will begin to see positive results from this activity during the second quarter of 2019, we believe our results will accelerate during the second half of 2019.2020.

Our results for the first quarter were also negatively affected by media coverage in China associated with the Chinese government’s 100-day review of the health products and direct selling industries that occurred during the quarter. This volume of negative media coverage regarding our industry was unanticipated and slowed the productivity of our Associates, generated skepticism amongst customers and potential customers, all of which adversely affected our sales in China for the quarter.  The Chinese government’s 100-day review of these industries concluded in April 2019, and we expect to see a more typical operating environment in China going forward.  While we believe that we will begin to see progress in China during the second quarter of 2019, we believe that our results in China will further accelerate during the second half of the year.

Net earnings for the first quarter of 20192020 were $24.2$26.6 million, a decreasean increase of 16.5%, 9.8% compared with $28.9$24.2 million during the prior-year period.period. The decreaseincrease in net earnings was mainly the result of lower net sales, and higher relative operating expenses.operating expenses, partially offset by lower gross margins.

The decreaseincrease in constant currency net sales in Southeast Asia Pacific was

driven primarily by local currency declines in several markets, including Australia and Singapore,Malaysia which declined 7.0% and 13.0%, respectively.  These decreases were partially offset by local currency increases in the Philippines and Thailand, which increased 20.6% and 25.8%, respectively.  Growth in South Korea, wherehad local currency net sales increased 30.3% and the numbergrowth of 40.5% due to a 24.0% increase in active Customers increased 27.3% continues to drive theCustomers.

This decrease is largely due to a decline in the U.S., 9.2%active Customers and sales in Canada, and 17.9% in Mexico during the quarter. During fiscal year 2019, we will introduce several new, trial initiatives in the United States, which are intended to improve our customer experience and simplify our incentive offering to our sales force.  We believe that these incentives will help generate sales and customer growth in the United States and potentially other markets in this region.Mexico.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased 10decreased 50 basis points to 82.7% of net sales, down from 83.2% in the prior-year quarter. This decrease can be attributed to (i) more favorable inventory pricing in the prior-year quarter, and (ii) higher manufacturing costs in the current-year quarter.

Associate Incentives

Associate incentives increased 60 basis points to 44.9% of net sales for the first quarter of 2019, compared with 44.3% in the prior year.  The relative increase can be attributed to a typical pattern of modestly higher commissions and bonuses in periods of softer sales performance.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

In absolute terms, our selling, general and administrative expenseexpenses decreased $0.6 million during the first quarter of 2019 when compared with the same period of the prior year.  This$4.1 million. The decrease iscan be attributed to (i) decrease in variable expenses tied to Associate events that were cancelled or postponed due to theCOVID-19, (ii) lower spend in the quarter on information technology systemsadvertising expense, and infrastructure, partially offset by increased advertising expense.(iii) lower employee related costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically met our working capital and capital expenditure requirements by using both net cash flow from operations and by drawing periodically on our line of credit. Our principal source of liquidity is our operating cash flow. Although we are required to maintain cash deposits with banks in certain of our markets, there are currently no material restrictions on our ability to transfer and remit funds among our international markets. In China, however, our compliance with Chinese accounting and tax regulations promulgated by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) results in transfer and remittance of our profits and dividends from China to the United States on a delayed basis. If SAFE or other Chinese regulators introduce new regulations, or change existing regulations which allow foreign investors to remit profits and dividends earned in China to other countries, our ability to remit profits or pay dividends from China to the United States may be limited in the future.

We believe we have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our cash needs and expect to continue to fund our business with cash flow from operations. We continue, however, to evaluate and take action, as necessary, to preserve adequate liquidity and ensure that our business can continue to operate during these uncertain times. Consequently, we are actively monitoring spending and taking action, when necessary, to align spending with sales performance. We also plan to defer non-essential capital investments amid the COVID-19 pandemic. To further enhance our financial flexibility, we (i) drew $60.0 million on our line of credit subsequent to March 28, 2020 to ensure availability of additional liquidity under our credit facility, and (ii) have temporarily suspended our share repurchase program.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $194.1 million at March 28, 2020, from $234.8 million at December 28, 2019. The decrease is primarily due to cash paid for share repurchases of $57.0 million. This decrease was partially offset by $30.8 million cash provided by operating activities. Of the $194.1 million cash and cash equivalents at March 28, 2020, $12.2 million was held in the United States. Of the remaining $181.9 million held by our international subsidiaries, $143.5 million was held in China. Of the $234.8 million cash and cash equivalents at December 28, 2019, $85.3 million was held in the United States. Of the remaining $149.5 million held by our international subsidiaries, $114.9 million was held in China.

Cash Flows Provided by Operations

Items increasingThe increase in cash flows from operationsoperating activities was mainly driven by larger payments in the first three months of 2019 include: (i) net earnings, and (ii) adjustments of non-cash items.  These increases were partially offset by cash paid to reducefor accrued employee compensation costs, and accrued Associate incentives.incentives, and inventory purchases.

Net cash flow from operating activities totaled $19.5 million in the first three months of 2018.  Items increasing cash flows from operations in the first three months of 2018 include: (i) net earnings, and (ii) depreciation related to investment in information technology systems.  These increases were partially offset by (i) payment of accrued employee compensation, (ii) tax payments, and (iii) cash used on inventories.

Summary

We believe our current cash balances, and investments, future cash provided by operations, and amounts available under our line of credit will be sufficient to cover our operating and capital needs in the ordinary course of business for the foreseeable future. If we experience an adverse operating environment or unanticipated and unusual capital expenditure requirements, additional financing may be required. No assurance can be given, however, that additional financing, if required, would be available to us at all or on favorable terms. We might also require or seek additional financing for the purpose of expanding into new markets, growing our existing markets, or for other reasons. Such financing may include the use of additional debt or the sale of additional equity securities. Any financing which involves the sale of equity securities or instruments that are convertible into equity securities could result in immediate and possibly significant dilution to our existing shareholders.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are a party to litigation and other proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of conducting business, including matters involving our products, intellectual property, supplier relationships, distributors, competitor relationships, employees and other matters.

Information with respect to our legal proceedings may be found in Note HF to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 Part I of this report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

Our business, results of operations, and financial condition are subject to various risks. These risks are described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our other filings with the SEC, including the 20182019 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2019.  Except as provided below, the25, 2020. The following additional risk factors identified in our 2018 Form 10-K have not changed in any material respect.  The information presented below supplements andrelating to COVID-19 should be read in conjunction with the detailed discussion of risks associated with our businessrisk factors previously disclosed in our recent SEC filings, including our Annual2019 Form 10-K and the information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-K for10-Q

Our business, operating results and financial condition have been adversely affected by the 2018 fiscal year.COVID-19 pandemic and could be adversely affect by other epidemics, pandemics or similar widespread public health concern.

Our operations in China are subject to significant government regulation, as well asCOVID-19, which has been declared a variety of legal, political,pandemic by the World Health Organization, has rapidly spread around the world and is impacting worldwide health and economic risks. If the government modifies the direct selling regulations, or interpretsactivity and enforces the regulations in a manner that is adversebegan to adversely affect our business in China, our consolidated business and results of operations and financial condition toward the latter end of the first fiscal quarter of 2020. The reality, or fear, of the COVID-19 pandemic, or another pandemic, epidemic or similar widespread health concern, poses the risk that we and/or our Associates, customers, employees, suppliers, and other partners may be materially harmed.

Ourprevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to shutdowns, travel restrictions or bans, social distancing requirements, shelter at home orders and advisories, avoidance of public gatherings, and other restrictions that have been or may be suggested or mandated by governmental authorities, or due to the impact of COVID-19 itself, on our operations in China are conducted by BabyCare, a direct selling company thator the operations of other companies with whom we indirectly acquired several years ago to facilitate our expansion into China. BabyCare operates in China pursuant to direct selling laws and regulations that are uncertain and evolving. These regulations contain a number of financial and operational restrictions for direct selling companies, most notably on pyramid selling and multi-level compensation.do business. The laws and regulations are also subject to discretionary interpretation and enforcement by various state, provincial and municipal level officials in China. Regulators in China may change how they interpret and enforce the direct selling regulations, both current interpretations and enforcement thereof COVID-19 pandemic and/or future iterations. Regulators in Chinaother similar pandemics may also modifyhave the current regulations. As a result, there can be no assurance thateffect of heightening many of the Chinese government’s current or future interpretation and application of existing and new regulations will not negatively impact our business in China, result in regulatory investigations or lead to fines or penalties against us or our Associates.

The Chinese central government also exercises significant control over the Chinese economy, including through controlling capital, controlling foreign exchange and foreign exchange rates, controlling tax regulations, providing preferential treatment to certain industry segments or companies and issuing required licenses to conduct business. In addition, we could face additionalother risks resulting from changes in China’s data privacy and security requirements. Accordingly, any adverse changedescribed in the Chinese governmental, economic or other policies could have a material adverse effect on BabyCare’s business in China and“Risk Factors” section of our consolidated results of operations.

Certain trade policies, tariffs, other trade actions implemented by the United States in 2018 against other countries,2019 Form 10-K, including China,but not limited to those relating to the import and export of certain products, and negotiations with respect thereto, may have a negative effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations in China and other markets. China, and certain of our other markets, have imposed, or threatened to impose, tariffs on U.S. imports or to take other actions in retaliation to actions taken by the United States. These developments may have a material adverse effect on the economy, financial markets, and currency exchange rates in China and the United States, which represent our two largest markets. Additionally, any actions taken by the Chinese government, or the government in our other markets, to implement further trade policy changes, financial restrictions, or increased regulatory scrutiny on U.S. companies could negatively impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

While BabyCare utilizes a business model that has been developed specifically for China’s laws and regulations, BabyCare’s model has not been formally approved by the Chinese government.

BabyCare’s business model has been designed specifically for China’s laws and regulations based on, among other things: (i) BabyCare’s communications with the Chinese government, (ii) BabyCare’s interpretation of the direct selling laws and

regulations, as well as its understanding of how the government interprets and enforces the regulations, and (iii) BabyCare’s understanding of how other multinational direct selling companies operate in China. Many of the components of BabyCare’s business model are unique to China and are not partregulation of our business modeland industry; our customer growth strategy; our supply chain; disruption in our markets outside of China. For example, BabyCare sells products in China through a variety of methods, including: (a) online through its website; (b) at physical branch retail locations in China; (c) through direct sellers in provinces and municipalities where BabyCare has received a direct sales license; and (d) through independent distributors who are considered independent business owners under Chinese law. BabyCare has not received formal confirmation from the Chinese government that its business model and operations in China comply with applicable laws and regulations, including those pertaining to direct selling. We cannot be certain that BabyCare’s business modelmanufacturing, distribution or other operations; our international markets; the activities of its employees, direct sellers our Associates; and general economic and/or independent distributors will be deemed by Chinese regulatory authoritiespolitical conditions.

The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to be compliant with current or future laws and regulations. If BabyCare’s model is deemed to be in violation of applicable regulations, as they are now or may in the future be interpreted or enforced, BabyCare could be subject to fines, penalties, suspension of its business in China or, ultimately, have its direct selling license revoked by the Chinese government, all of which could have a material adverse impact on our business in China.

BabyCare’s operations in China, and direct selling companies in general, are subject to significant government oversight, scrutiny and monitoring.

Chinese regulators regularly monitor and make inquiries about the business activities of direct sellers in China and have done so with BabyCare. These inquiries can arise in a variety of ways, including from complaints from customers, competitors or the media. For example, following various media reports in 2017, certain departments of the Chinese government, including the former State Administration of Industry and Commerce (now SAMR) and MPS, carried out a three-month review of the direct selling industry to investigate alleged violations of the direct selling regulations and anti-pyramiding regulations. Additionally, following media coverage of certain health product companies and direct selling companies in January of 2019, several departments of the Chinese government, including SAMR, MPS, and MOFCOM, carried out a 100-day review of health product and direct selling companies in China. The 100-day review required applicable companies such as BabyCare to conduct a self-assessment of the regulatory compliance of their business (including product regulatory compliance and direct selling regulatory compliance) and to provide information to the government regarding the same. The 100-day review also entailed a review of a company’s regulatory compliance by various departments of the Chinese government. During this review period, the Chinese government, among other things, (i) instructed direct selling companies to not hold large distributor meetings, and (ii) suspended its application review process for direct sales licenses and authorizations.  Although the 100-day review ended on or about April 18, 2019, as of the date of this report the Chinese government has not formally reversed its instruction to direct selling companies regarding holding large distributor meetings, nor started accepting applications for direct sales licenses.  These factors, and others, have contributed to the uncertain regulatory and operating environment in China for BabyCare.

The Chinese government has investigated and imposed significant fines on companies and their distributors believedcontinue to have violated direct selling and anti-pyramiding regulations. In some cases, it has even shut such companies down. There have been instances where inquiries or complaints about BabyCare’s business have resulted in warnings from the Chinese government as well as the payment of fines by BabyCare. We expect that BabyCare will continue to face the risk of government inquiries, complaints or investigations, and any determination that BabyCare’s business or the activities of its Associates are not in compliance with applicable regulations could result in additional fines, disruption of business, or the suspension or termination of BabyCare’s licenses, including its direct selling licenses, all of which could have a materialan adverse effect on our business and operations. There can be no assurance that the Chinese government’s interpretationresults of operations.

At the latter part of the quarter ended March 28, 2020, we began to see adverse effects of the response to and enforcementefforts to contain the COVID-19 pandemic in many of applicable lawsour markets. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we will continue to assess the situation, including government-imposed restrictions, market by market. To promote the health and regulations will not negatively impact BabyCare’s business, result in regulatory investigations or lead to fines or penalties against BabyCare, USANA orsafety of our Associates in China.

Additionally, the direct selling regulations in China prevent persons who are not Chinese nationals from engaging in direct selling in China. Althoughemployees and customers, we have, implemented internal policies that are designed to promote our Associates’ compliance with these regulations, we cannot guarantee that any of our Associates living outside of China or any of BabyCare’s Associates in China have not engaged or will not engage in activities that violate our policies in this market or that violate Chinese law oramong other applicable laws and regulations and, therefore, might result in regulatory action and adverse publicity, which would harmthings, modified our business in China.

BabyCare must apply fora number of ways and receive government approvalmay be required to expand itsadopt further modifications to our business, in China and its ability to expand could be negatively impacted if it is unable to obtain such required approvals.

BabyCare has obtained direct selling licenses in certain provinces and municipalities and it must obtain various licenses and approvals from additional municipalities and provinces within China if it is to operate its direct selling business model in

China. While direct selling licenses are centrally issued, the licenses are generally valid only in the jurisdictions within which related approvals have been obtained. Those approvals are generally awarded on local and provincial bases, and the approval process requires involvement with multiple ministries at each level. As of the date of this report, BabyCare has been granted licenses to engage in direct selling in the municipalities and provinces of Beijing, Jiangsu, Shaanxi, and Tianjin. In 2016, BabyCare received preliminary approval from the Chinese government to expand its direct selling business into the following eight additional provinces and municipalities: Liaoning Province, Shandong Province, Shanxi Province, Sichuan Province, Guangdong Province, Dalian City, Qingdao City, and Shenzhen City. Issuance of final direct selling approvals for these municipalities and provinces was contingent upon BabyCare satisfying certain conditions and reporting requirements. Although BabyCare has been working to satisfy these conditions and reporting requirements, we now believe that BabyCare will not be receive the final direct selling approvals for one or more of these eight additional provinces and municipalities under the current applications due to (i) delays by BabyCare in satisfying the conditions, (ii) the reorganization of several departments of the Chinese government in 2018, (iii) the Chinese government’s 100-day review of the direct sales industry, which occurred from early January 2019 through mid-April 2019, and/or (iv) the related suspension of the Chinese government’s application review process for direct sales licenses and approvals in connection with 100-day review. Consequently, if a previously submitted application is not approved, BabyCare will need to reapply for these approvals at some point.  Although the 100-day review has ended, the Chinese government has not started accepting applications for direct sales licenses and approvals, nor indicated if, or when, it will do so.  Due to these factors, and the discretion maintained by the Chinese government, there is no guarantee that BabyCare will be successful in reapplying for these approvals or that the Chinese government will ultimately grant BabyCare a direct sales license in these or other jurisdictions, eithermany of which could adversely affect BabyCare’s business.

Going forward, BabyCare will be required to obtain licenses from municipalities and provinces within China where it does not hold a license. As noted above, although the 100-day review has now ended, the Chinese government has not started accepting applications for direct sales licenses and approvals, nor indicated if, or when, it will do so. If BabyCare is unable to obtain additional direct selling licenses as quickly as we would like, or at all, it would have a negativenegatively impact our ability to expand and grow our business in China. If and when the Chinese government again begins to accept direct selling applications and to issue direct sales licenses and authorizations, the process for obtaining the necessary government approvals will likely remain unpredictable, time-consuming and expensive. If the current processes for obtaining approvals are suspended or otherwise delayed for an extended period of time, or indefinitely, these events could have a negative impact on BabyCare’s growth prospects in China. Ultimately, there can be no assurance that BabyCare will be successful in maintaining its current direct-selling licenses or obtaining additional direct-selling licenses or the required approvals to expand into additional locations in China that are important to its business.

Our business is subject to the effects of adverse publicity and negative public perception.

Our ability to attract and retain Associates and to sustain and enhance sales through our Associates can be affected by adverse publicity or negative public perception regarding our industry, our competition, or our business generally. Our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations or financial condition. It is not possible at this time to estimate the full impact that the COVID-19 pandemic could be adversely affected ifhave on our public imagebusiness, the continued spread of COVID-19, and any additional measures taken by governments, health officials or reputation wereby us in response to be tarnished by negative publicity including dissemination via print, broadcast or social media, or other formssuch spread, could have on our business, results of Internet-based communications. This negative public perception may include publicity regarding the legality of direct selling, the quality or efficacy of nutritional supplement products or ingredientsoperations and financial condition. The COVID-19 pandemic and mitigation measures have also negatively impacted global economic conditions, which, in general or our products or ingredients specifically, and regulatory investigations, regardless of whether those investigations involve us or our Associates or the business practices or products of our competitors or other direct selling companies.

During the first several months of 2019, the Chinse government conducted a 100-day review of the health products and direct selling industries in China.  This review was accompanied by significant and persistent negative media coverage in China regarding these industries.  This negative media coverage slowed the productivity of our Associates in China, generated skepticism amongst customers and potential customers and, ultimately, adversely affected our sales in China for the first quarter of 2019. Continued negative media regarding our industry in Chinaturn, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. For instance, our sales and operating results may be affected by uncertain or changing economic and resultmarket conditions arising in further regulatory scrutinyconnection with and investigations in China.

In April 2017, we were the target of an anonymous short-seller blog that contained distortions of fact and misleading information about BabyCare’s business in China.

In 2007, we were the victim of false statements maderesponse to the pressCOVID-19 pandemic, including inflation, deflation, prolonged weak consumer demand, political instability or other changes.

There has been significant media and short-seller attention regarding the viability and legalityTable of direct selling in the United States, China, and internationally recently and over the past few years. This attention has led to intense public scrutiny of the industry, as well as volatility in our stock price and the stock price of companies similar to ours. There can be no assurance that we will not be subject to adverse publicity or negative public perception in the future or that such adverse publicity will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.Contents

Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

(c) Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

Our share repurchase plan has been ongoing since the fourth quarter of 2000, with the Board of Directors periodically approving additional dollar amounts for share repurchases under the plan. At March 30, 2019,28, 2020, the authorized amount available for repurchases under the plan was $40.2$73 million.  On May 1, 2019, our Board of Directors increased the authorized repurchase amount under the plan to $150 million, including the $40.2 million remaining from the prior authorization.

Repurchases are made from time to time at management’s discretion in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. Repurchases may occur through open market purchases, pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, or in other transactions as permitted by the rules of the SEC. There is no requirement for future share repurchases, and there is no expiration date of the repurchase plan.

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, in order to preserve liquidity, at the end of the first quarter we announced that we are temporarily suspending repurchases under the share repurchase program.

The following table summarizes information relating to purchases of our common stock made by or on behalf of the Company of shares of the Company’s common stock during the quarter ended March 30, 2019.28, 2020.
