Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: NUS) announced second-quarter 2019 results of $623.5 million, a decrease of 11 percent from $704.2 million in the second quarter of 2018.
“As previously announced, our second-quarter results were negatively impacted by limited sales meetings, media scrutiny and consumer sentiment in Mainland China in connection with the recently completed 100-day review of the nutrition and direct sales industries,” said Ritch Wood, chief executive officer. “Outside of Mainland China, most of our other markets performed in-line with expectations. Our customer numbers remained steady as we continued our customer-focused initiatives globally, while sales leaders declined 14 percent, primarily due to Mainland China.”
