Net Revenue Increases 239% Over Prior Year Period to $25.3 Million

Company Raises Full Year Fiscal 2012 Revenue and Operating Margin Guidance

SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 14, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LifeVantage Corporation (OTCBB:LFVN), maker of Protandim®, the Nrf2 Synergizer™ patented dietary supplement, today reported financial results for the second quarter and six months ended December 31, 2011.

Fiscal 2012 Second Quarter Highlights Include:

  • Net revenue increased 239% to $25.3 million compared to same quarter last year;
  • Operating margin doubled to 16.9% compared to 8.2% in the same quarter last year;
  • Operating income grew 603% compared to the same quarter last year to $4.3 million;
  • Cash and cash equivalents were $13.5 million;
  • Four new directors were elected to the Board, adding significant leadership experience;
  • Received approval from warrant holders for and completed a tender offer to modify certain outstanding warrants such that the Company will no longer account for these warrants as a derivative liability, which the Company believes will enable its financials to more closely reflect operating performance.

Fiscal 2012 Second Quarter Results

For the second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2011, the Company reported record net revenue of $25.3 million, compared to $7.5 million for the same period in fiscal 2011, an increase of 239%. On a sequential quarter basis, net revenue increased 26% from the $20.1 million reported for the Company's 2012 first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Gross profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 increased to $21.6 million, compared to $6.3 million for the same period last year, delivering a gross margin of 85.4%, compared to 84.0% for the same period last year.

Operating expenses for the second fiscal quarter decreased as a percent of revenue to 68.5%, or $17.3 million, compared to 75.9% of revenue, or $5.7 million, for the same period last year. On a sequential quarter basis, operating expenses as a percentage of revenue were relatively flat. The gross increase in the amount of operating expenses is due primarily to increased sales commissions which are a direct result of the Company's higher sales volume. This increase also reflects greater investment in personnel and infrastructure to position the Company for future growth.

Operating income improved to $4.3 million for the second fiscal quarter, compared to $0.6 million in the same period last year and $3.4 million in the first fiscal quarter. This was the Company's sixth consecutive quarter of achieving operating income. Operating income margin was 16.9% in the second fiscal quarter, compared to 8.2% in the same period last year and 17.1% in the first fiscal quarter.

Fiscal 2012 First Six Months Results

For the six months ended December 31, 2011, the Company reported record net revenue of $45.4 million, compared to $13.9 million for the same period in fiscal 2011, a 226% increase. Operating income increased to $7.7 million, compared to $1.0 million in the same period last year.

Douglas C. Robinson, President and Chief Executive Officer of LifeVantage, stated, "Our record second fiscal quarter revenue and operating income, combined with the doubling of our operating margins, underscore our ability to achieve leverage in our business while making strategic investments. We plan to continue to strengthen our infrastructure by adding headcount for all areas of our business and increasing our marketing investments as we build the necessary platform to continue our profitable organic growth."

"As awareness and understanding about Protandim and LifeVantage TrueScience® Anti-Aging Cream continues to expand in consumer markets as well as among medical professionals, we believe that our business is positioned for continued long-term growth. We are seeing a growing number of distributors join our team, as evidenced by record attendance at our recent quarterly distributor convention. We look forward to building upon this positive momentum and delivering another record year for LifeVantage in fiscal 2012."

Mr. Robinson concluded, "Reflecting our commitment to continue enhancing our corporate leadership, our shareholders recently elected four new members of the Board of Directors. These directors add diverse and deep leadership experience to the Board and are a strong addition to our Company. We are very excited about our continued outlook for fiscal 2012 and look forward to continuing to achieve long-term growth and profitability while helping people around the world improve their health and wellness through the science of Protandim."

Balance Sheet & Liquidity

The Company improved its balance sheet in the second fiscal quarter. The Company's cash balance at December 31, 2011 was $13.5 million, an increase from $6.4 million at year end fiscal 2011, due to strong revenue growth and operating profits. The Company generated $4.7 million of cash flow from operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to $0.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

On December 29, 2011, the Company received approval from warrant holders for and completed its tender offer to modify certain outstanding warrants. As previously announced, LifeVantage filed a tender offer document with the SEC and initiated a tender offer for the purpose of amending certain of its warrants to remove the price-based anti-dilution provision contained in those warrants and to extend the period during which those warrants may be exercised by 30 days. As of December 29, 2011, the Company received the requisite approvals such that all of 12.7 million warrants covered by the tender offer were amended. As a result, the Company will no longer account for these warrants as a derivative liability as currently required under U.S. GAAP.

With the warrant modification and the expiration of certain other warrants in March and April 2012, the Company anticipates removing all derivative warrant liabilities from its balance sheet and eliminating the quarterly changes in fair value of these warrants from its income statement.

Carrie McQueen, Chief Financial Officer, commented, "We are pleased with our continued progress in improving our balance sheet and the overall financial position of LifeVantage. To further improve the strength of our financial statements, we have eliminated over $19 million of long-term derivative liabilities this quarter, dramatically reduced our interest expense, and successfully modified certain outstanding warrants so we will no longer account for these warrants as a derivative liability which enables our financial statements to more closely reflect the Company's operating performance."

Guidance

The Company is raising its full year guidance for fiscal 2012. LifeVantage expects to generate revenue for the fiscal year in a range of $105 million to $115 million, compared to the previous range of $95 million to $105 million. Further, the Company expects to generate operating income for the fiscal year in a range of $13.7 million to $17.3 million, and an operating margin of 13% to 15%. The previous range of operating income was $11.4 million to $14.7 million, and an operating margin of 12% to 14%.
