Herbalife hits $5.1B in sales with steady growth and debt reduction

Herbalife has reported steady growth for the second quarter in a row, with full-year net sales exceeding $5 billion. The company's revenue rose by nearly 1%, supported by strong performances in key markets like India and Latin America.

Adjusted earnings came in at $0.45 per share, though foreign exchange pressures trimmed $0.07 from the result compared to 2024.

The company's full-year results showed net sales of $5.1 billion, a slight increase from the previous year. Adjusted EBITDA reached $658 million, maintaining a margin of 13.1%. Growth was uneven across regions: Latin America led with 18% reported growth, while EMEA and Asia Pacific each saw 9% gains.

Operating cash flow climbed 17% to $333 million, allowing Herbalife to repay $283 million in debt. This reduction in borrowing lowered the company's leverage ratio. Management also highlighted new product launches and the expansion of the Protocol digital platform as key drivers of revenue.

Looking ahead, Herbalife expects low- to mid-single-digit revenue growth in 2026. The tax outlook remains stable, and the company is banking on its partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo to boost the Protocol platform's visibility. After its U.S. launch in July, Protocol is set to play a larger role in future earnings.

Adjusted net income for the latest quarter stood at $48 million, reflecting both operational strength and ongoing currency challenges.

Herbalife's focus on debt reduction and digital expansion has strengthened its financial position. With steady revenue growth and a stable tax forecast, the company is preparing for further expansion in 2026. The Protocol platform and high-profile partnerships are expected to support its long-term strategy.
