Herbalife Nutrition Ltd. reported preliminary first‑quarter 2026 results that exceeded its own guidance, with net sales rising 7.5 % to 8.0 % year‑over‑year and a constant‑currency increase of 5.0 % to 5.5 %. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be at or above the high end of the guidance range, reflecting disciplined cost control and a favorable product‑mix shift toward higher‑margin items.
Compared with the prior year, the company’s performance accelerated sharply. In Q1 2025 Herbalife posted net sales of $1.2 billion, down 3.4 % YoY (but up 1.4 % on a constant‑currency basis) and an adjusted EBITDA of $164.9 million. The current quarter’s growth therefore represents a significant rebound from the previous year’s decline and a clear acceleration in momentum.
Segment analysis shows that the growth was driven largely by Asia Pacific, where record quarterly net sales in India offset declines in North America and China. Weather‑related disruptions and shipment timing issues weighed on North America, while China experienced a modest decline, underscoring the geographic mix of the company’s performance.
Herbalife’s strategic focus on a digital wellness platform and personalized supplement capabilities is supported by the results. The company’s cost‑control initiatives and product‑mix improvements are translating into stronger profitability, while the planned acquisition of Bioniq signals a continued push toward personalized nutrition and data‑driven product development.
The company also announced a $800 million senior secured notes offering due 2033, intended to refinance existing debt and extend its maturity profile. This refinancing plan is part of a broader transformation strategy that includes the digital platform and the Bioniq acquisition, reinforcing Herbalife’s financial flexibility and long‑term growth prospects.
Chief Financial Officer John DeSimone said, “Our preliminary first quarter 2026 results reflect net sales growth above the high end of our prior guidance range. We remain committed to completing a successful refinancing that extends our maturity profile and aligns with our pricing objectives.”
