Exhibit 99.1
NATURAL HEALTH TRENDS ANNOUNCES SEC FILINGS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS
DALLAS, TX, November 14, 2011 -- Natural Health Trends Corp. (Pink Sheets: NHTC) announced today that it has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission periodic reports covering periods ended after September 30, 2009, including a comprehensive Annual Report on Form 10-K for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 (in lieu of filing separate reports for each of those years), and separate Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2011 through September 30, 2011. The Company does not intend to file separate Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for any of the quarters ended March 31,
2010 through September 30, 2010, because that information is included in the comprehensive Annual Report.
Focusing on its most recent results, the Company announced $1.8 million of net income, or $0.17 income per share, on $22.9 million of sales during the first nine months of 2011, compared to $2.1 million of net loss, or $0.20 loss per share, on $17.4 million during the comparable period in 2010. Year on year sales increased 32%, while selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 15%.
Chris Sharng, president of Natural Health Trends, said, “In the last two years, we have completely changed our culture and re-built a competitive business model based on dedicated field leaders, enhanced commission structure, systemic training, attentive services, effective promotions and high-quality products. Our operating costs are way down after aggressive restructuring and will enable us to benefit from revived revenue, particularly in Greater China.”
“The third quarter’s results were bolstered by our 10th anniversary celebration and shipments of orders received in the prior quarter. Our business is still expected to be significantly influenced by seasonality factors, such as the Chinese New Year, the Chinese Golden Week (in early October) and the summertime. The cash we generate will have to be re-invested in the business to support existing operations and pursue opportunities we have in our markets.”
