Shareholder Conference Call 4:15 PM EST

SAN DIEGO--()--Youngevity International, Inc. (OTCQX: YGYI) (www.YGYI.com), a global direct marketer of nutritional and lifestyle products and also a vertically-integrated producer of gourmet coffees for the commercial, retail and direct sales channels, today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2014.

2014 Second Quarter Highlights:

  • Net revenue increased 56.6% to $32.7 million compared to $20.9 million for the second quarter of 2013.
  • Gross profit increased 49.2% to $18.9 million compared to $12.7 million in the same period last year.
  • Operating Income was $1.2 million, an increase of 14.9% over the prior year period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 17.5% to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $1.7 million in the same period for the prior year.

“Our quarterly results demonstrate the strength of our unique business model and we are very pleased to report record revenue,” stated Steve Wallach, Chairman and CEO of Youngevity International. “In the second quarter, we capitalized on strategic opportunities for our Company and we remain well positioned for long-term growth in the United States and globally.”

Dave Briskie, CFO of Youngevity International, said “We are very pleased to deliver record revenue and our eighth straight quarter of profitability. As in the first quarter, Q2 numbers carried a significant expense load related to our aggressive growth strategy. In fact, Q2 included over $551,000 in expenses that impacted our results. These expenses were primarily related to our international expansion, the launch of MK Collaborative, and acquisition integration expenses related to Beyond Organic and our newly acquired Nicaragua coffee plantation and processing plant. We expect to continue to invest in both organic and acquisition related opportunities to grow and improve profitability in both our direct selling and coffee business segments.”

2014 Second Quarter Results

  • For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company reported net revenue of $32.7 million, compared to $20.9 million for the same period in 2013, an increase of 56.6%. The increase in revenue is attributed primarily to the increase in our product offerings and the number of distributors selling our product and the increase in the number of customers consuming our products. Also, $3.8 million in additional revenues was derived from the acquisitions of Beyond Organic, Inc., acquired on May 1, 2014, Heritage Makers, Inc., acquired on August 14, 2013, Good Herbs, Inc., acquired on April 28, 2014, GoFoods Global, LLC, acquired on October 1, 2013 and Biometics International Inc., acquired on November 19, 2013. The increase in revenues in commercial coffee is primarily due to the addition of the green coffee business.
  • Gross profit for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014 increased to $18.9 million, compared to $12.7 million for the same period last year, an increase of 49.2%.
  • Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 decreased to $544,000 as compared to a net income of $662,000 for the same period last year.
  • EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) as adjusted to remove the effect of stock based compensation expense or "Adjusted EBITDA", was $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $1.7 million in the same period for the prior year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure – Adjusted EBITDA

This news release includes information on Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with our results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provides useful information about our period-over-period growth. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it provides additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and is also frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of comparable companies. We also rely on Adjusted EBITDA as a primary measure to review and assess the operating performance of our Company and our management team. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as a substitute for net income (loss) (as determined in accordance with GAAP) for the purpose of analyzing the Company’s operating performance or financial position, as Adjusted EBITDA is not defined by GAAP.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (net income or loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to eliminate the effects of stock-based compensation and non-cash impairment loss. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income is set out in the tables at the end of this press release.
