Third Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

• Revenue of $9.5 million decreased 11% compared to $10.7 million in the third quarter of 2024 in part due to the timing of a product promotion and the presale of our new skincare line at the end of September 2025 in Hong Kong.

Management Commentary

“The economic outlook in our largest market remains challenging in the near term. We are undertaking a major restructuring, which we expect will result in $1.5 million annualized savings. Our ongoing measures include optimizing our workforce and relocating product manufacturing to Asia. As part of these restructuring initiatives, we expect to incur a one-time charge of approximately $250,000 in the fourth quarter and anticipate a reduction in our quarterly cash dividend to $0.10 per share beginning in the first quarter next year,” commented Chris Sharng, President of Natural Health Trends Corp.

Mr. Sharng continued, “These actions will enable investments in new systems and technologies, including an AI-enabled marketing app and a member-interface business suite, as well as new marketing initiatives designed to drive member growth and engagement. By aligning costs with global sales performance, we are positioning the company for sustainable growth, profitability, and long-term value creation.”

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

• Net cash used in operating activities was $5.0 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to $3.5 million in the first nine months of 2024.
