Shareholder Conference Call at 4:15 PM EDT
 
Highlights:
Revenues increased $2.8 million versus first quarter
Direct Selling Segment Revenue Increases 6.9% over first quarter
Coffee Segment Revenue Increases 9.1% over first quarter
Adjusted EBITDA is $745 Thousand versus a $1.24 million loss in the first quarter
 
SAN DIEGO, CA--(August 10, 2017) - Youngevity International, Inc. (NASDAQ: YGYI ), a leading omni-direct lifestyle company, today reported financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017.
 
Steve Wallach, CEO and Co-Founder of Youngevity stated, “We are encouraged to see our revenue and adjusted EBITDA bounce back from the levels achieved in the last two quarters. A 7.2% revenue increase over last quarter and a nearly $2 million improvement in adjusted EBITDA over the last quarter is certainly a move in the right direction. As our plans for international growth gain traction we anticipate a return to quarter over prior quarter growth.”
 
Youngevity President and CFO, Dave Briskie stated, “Following the fourth quarter of 2016 and the first quarter of 2017 which we felt were lackluster our executive team has refocused and increased its commitment toward driving consolidated revenue growth, strengthening our adjusted EBITDA, accelerating our international sales, and driving top line revenue growth for our coffee segment. In the second quarter, we made solid progress in each of these key metrics and we will be measuring our performance in these areas in the coming quarters with an expectation of continued progress for the remainder of 2017 and into 2018.”
 
SECOND QUARTER 2017 FINANCIAL RESULTS
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2017, our revenue decreased 2.3% to $41,527,000 as compared to $42,500,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we derived approximately 86% of our revenue from our direct sales and approximately 14% of our revenue from our commercial coffee sales. Direct selling segment revenues decreased by $1,481,000 or 4.0% to $35,538,000 as compared to $37,019,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Commercial coffee segment revenues increased by $508,000 or 9.3% to $5,989,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $5,481,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. This increase was primarily attributed to increased revenues in our coffee roasting and green coffee business.
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2017, gross profit decreased approximately 5.2% to $24,102,000 as compared to $25,431,000 for the same period in the prior year. Overall gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased to 58.0%, compared to 59.8% in the same period last year. This decrease was primarily as a result of increased direct costs which adversely impacted the commercial coffee segment gross margins.
 
 
 
 
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2017, operating expenses increased approximately 3.6% to $24,778,000 as compared to $23,907,000 for the same period in the prior year.
 
A breakdown of operating expenses is as follows: Distributor compensation expense decreased 0.7% to $16,686,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $16,796,000 for the same period in the prior year primarily due to the decrease in revenues. Sales and marketing expense increased 10.0% to $2,901,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $2,637,000 for the same period in the prior year primarily due to increases in marketing staff and related costs as the Company is revamping its marketing content. General and administrative expense increased 16.0% to $5,191,000 from $4,474,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to increases in costs related to the international expansion, legal fees, investor relations, wages and related benefits, amortization and stock based compensation costs, computer and internet related costs and travel costs. In addition, the contingent liability revaluation resulted in a benefit of $680,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to a benefit of $480,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016.
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2017, total other expense increased by $1,026,000 to $2,599,000 as compared to $1,573,000 for the same period in the prior year. Total other expense is net interest expense of $1,258,000 and the change in the fair value of warrant derivative of $1,341,000.
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company reported a net loss of $2,730,000 as compared to a net loss of $109,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in net loss was due to a net loss before income taxes of $3,275,000 in 2017 compared to a net loss before income taxes in 2016 of $49,000 offset by a tax benefit of $545,000 in 2017 when compared to a $60,000 tax provision in 2016.
 
Adjusted EBITDA

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 is a non-GAAP financial measure. We calculate adjusted EBITDA by taking net income, and adding back the expenses related to interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock based compensation expense and change in the fair value of the warrant derivative, as each of those elements are calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as a substitute for net income (loss) (as determined in accordance with GAAP) for the purpose of analyzing our operating performance or financial position, as Adjusted EBITDA is not defined by GAAP. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss is provided in the tables at the end of this press release.
