    ANNUAL 2014REPORT DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS, Our results in 2014 reflect our ongoing transition to being a more consumer-focused organization. This trans- formation is creating a stronger, more consumer friendly Herbalife – and one that is evolving and getting better every day. Critical to our transformation has been the focus of Herbalife and our members on daily consumption, as well as our emphasis on bringing new sales leaders into the company in a more sustainable way than in the past. In 2014 over two thirds of our markets enjoyed growth in volume points, resulting in record volume points of 5.4 billion, an increase of 2% over 2013. Our average active sales leaders were up 9% for the full year. We achieved record net sales for the year of $5 billion and full year adjusted EPS for 2014 was up 10.4 percent over 2013, to $5.93. Cash flow from operations was over $500 million, and we invested $156.7 million in capital expenditures, including our new facility in Winston-Salem. At Herbalife, creating shareholder value is a key objective for our management team and our board of directors, and 2014 saw us pay dividends of $30.4 million and repurchase approximately $1.3 billion in common shares outstanding under our share repurchase program. We achieved a record – and what we believe is an industry leading – retention rate of 54.2%, with 57 markets achieving sales leader retention of 60 percent or greater. We grew our Member base by 8% to 4 million, and we also had more customers in 2014 than at any time in our 35-year history.

  • 5M1b Ltr to FTC Re MLM Income and Health Claims FINAL
    June 30, 2021 VIA EMAIL Samuel Levine Acting Director, Bureau of Consumer Protection Federal Trade Commission 600 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W. Washington, D.C. 20580 [email protected] Dear Mr. Levine: For far too long multilevel marketing (MLM) companies have used deceptive marketing to promote the business opportunity and sell their wares.1 In fact, the problem is so longstanding and pervasive that the MLM industry’s self-regulatory body, the Direct Selling Self-Regulatory Council (DSSRC), stated just last month that: Though the industry has made significant strides to curtail the dissemination of unsupported claims regarding income potential …, there is still a great deal of work ahead of us to assure that the product and earnings claims communicated to consumers and potential salesforce members are truthful and accurate.2 Moreover, industry trade group, the Direct Selling Association (DSA), published an article in its January 2021 journal that stated, “[d]irect sellers will never be able to wholly prevent distributors from making improper claims.”3 Such pessimism is cause for concern as improper health and income claims not only deceive consumers but also lead to social, emotional, and physical harms, and financial hardship.4 Given this backdrop, TINA.org urges the Commission to implement a penalty offense program targeting the direct selling industry and its market-wide practice of utilizing deceptive earnings representations and false health claims.5 For more than 40 years, the FTC has consistently pursued individual MLM companies making

  • Herbalife and Juice Plus+ Products Under Study
    The price of “health”: Herbalife® and Juice Plus+® products under study Alba García Aranda Treball de Fi de Grau Treball d’aprofundiment Convocatòria Juny 2021 Grau de Nutrició Humana i Dietètica Departament de Nutrició, Ciències de l’Alimentació i Gastronomia Facultat de Farmàcia i Ciències de l’Alimentació Universitat de Barcelona This work is licenced under a Creative Commons license. The price of “health”: Herbalife® and Juice Plus+® products under study Abstract: The popularity of dietary supplements is increasingly on the rise: people are turning to them both for the purpose of weight loss and to maintain good health, so that in recent months and with the influence of the Covid-19 lockdown, dietary supplement companies have multiplied their profits, with Herbalife®️ and Juice Plus+®️ among the biggest benefited, yet in both cases seems to be that the traders do not have the necessary knowledge on nutrition. The aim of this review is therefore to analyse the best-selling products of these companies in terms of their components and the available scientific evidence. The articles reviewed were obtained by a search through various databases, with specific selection criteria for each component and its supposed health benefits, giving preference to the most recent publications. Results show that some of these supplements’ ingredients do have scientific evidence supporting them (as is the case of coffee, green tea and, to a lesser extent, Aloe Vera), but others lack of significant evidence to attribute their claimed benefits (as is the case of substitute shakes, vitamin and omega supplements and glucomannan); moreover, adverse effects related to the consumption of these products have been reported and, in some cases, these had led to serious health consequences.

    DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS, At Herbalife, we have solutions to help address the global obesity epidemic and an opportunity for people seeking additional income, which uniquely positions our company at the intersection of health and wealth.

Our distributors continue to create long-term sustainable businesses with customers using our products every day to help support their healthy, active lives. In 2010, we made it easier for them to get products in many of our top markets by adding sales centers and new access points. We invested in technology; introduced our first mobile application software; upgraded and expanded the reach of our online distributor Web sites and coupled these investments with increased distributor training worldwide. And, as our distributors adopted the marketing plan enhancements of Qualified Producer and 5K cumulative sales leader qualification, it became easier than ever for them to bring new people into the business and move up the marketing plan. In the product area, we introduced a variety of new and enhanced products and strengthened our flagship Formula 1 shake line with the introduction of F1 Allergen-Free (non-soy, non-gluten) and the January 2011 introduction of our Prolessa™ Duo satiety and fat-burning F1 booster. We continued our commitment to be a global leader in nutrition and broke ground for our state-of-the art botanical extraction facility in Changsha, China, which will help us to maintain the highest quality levels on our key botanical ingredients.
