Usana cuts FY25 EPS view to $1.73 from $2.35-$3.00

Cuts FY25 revenue view to $920M from $920M-$1B. Doug Hekking, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “Short-term profitability was burdened during the third quarter due to softer than anticipated sales, meaningful investments to support the roll out of our enhanced Brand Partner compensation plan, and a change in the estimated annual effective income tax rate that disproportionately impacted the current year quarter. Specifically, lower than expected earnings coupled with the concentration of operating and administrative expenses in the United States resulted in a meaningful increase in the annualized effective income tax rate in the third quarter from 45% to 65%. The adjustment was approximately $7.6 million greater than what would have been expected using the previously guided 45% tax rate.”
