The global nutrition and skin care industries are intensely fragmented and competitive. We compete for independent associates with other network marketing companies outside the global nutrition and skin care industries. Many of our competitors have greater name recognition and financial resources, which may give them a competitive advantage. Our competitors may also be able to devote greater resources to marketing, promotional, and pricing campaigns that may influence our continuing and potential independent associates and preferred customers to buy products from competitors rather than from us. Larger, more established competitors may be able to devote more resources to artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies in the areas of product development, operational efficiencies, and customer engagement. Our business could be harmed if we are unable to adopt and use AI technology as efficiently as our competitors. Such competition could adversely affect our business and current market share. Additionally, nutrition and skin care products may be purchased in multiple channels of distribution, including retail stores and via online retailers such as Amazon that host third-party sellers enabling new competitors to enter the market.see in full comparison

As noted above, many states have enacted data protection requirements. California enacted CCPA, effective on January 1, 2020, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act to provide enhanced data privacy protections to California residents. CCPA applies to companies with annual gross revenues in excess of $25 million and other thresholds.Virginia,thresholds. Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Iowa, Indiana, Tennessee, Montana, Texas, Florida, Delaware, and Oregon all have adopted laws introducing privacy obligations and many other states are considering and may enact similar legislation. A broad range of legislative measures also have been introduced at the federal level. The FTC and state attorneys general also review privacy and data protection for consumers.
We incorporate various artificial intelligence (“AI”) solutions into our digital infrastructure, services, offerings and features, and these applications are becoming important in our operations. We have not established definitive policies regarding the use of AI platforms and algorithms in our business and with our data and information, and we do not have systems in place that inventory all of the AI-based applications that may be in use in our enterprise. Our competitors or other third parties may incorporate AI into their products and operations more quickly or more successfully than us, which could impair our ability to compete effectively and adversely affect our results of operations. Additionally, if the content, analyses, search results or recommendations that AI applications assist in producing are, or are alleged to be, deficient, inaccurate, biased or in violation of third parties’ intellectual property rights, our business, reputation, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.
The regulatory environment governing AI technologies is rapidly evolving and remains uncertain. Federal, state, and international authorities have proposed or adopted laws, regulations, and guidance addressing the development, deployment, and use of AI systems. These requirements may impose obligations relating to transparency, data governance, bias mitigation, privacy, intellectual property, cybersecurity, and consumer protection.
As AI regulation continues to proliferate across jurisdictions, compliance may increase our operational costs, limit certain uses of AI technologies, or require modifications to our products and services. Failure to comply with applicable AI-related laws and regulations could result in fines, enforcement actions, reputational harm, or other liabilities.

Mannatech is a global wellness solution provider, which was incorporated and began operations in November 1993. We develop and sell innovative, high quality, proprietary nutritional supplements, skin care and anti-aging products, and weight-management products that target optimal health and wellness. We currently sell our products in three regions: (i) the Americas (the United States, Canada and Mexico); (ii) Europe/the Middle East/Africa (“EMEA”) (Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, the Republic of Ireland, Namibia, the Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom); and (iii) Asia/Pacific (Australia, Japan, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China). We also ship our products to customers in the following countries: Belgium, France, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, and Poland. During the second quarter of 2024,2025, the Company liquidated its entity in Sweden,Denmark, Mannatech SverigeDenmark AB.ApS.
We conduct our business as a single operating segment and primarily sell our products through a network of approximately 133,000114,000 active associates and preferred customer positions held by individuals that purchased our products and/or packs or paid associate fees during the last twelve months, who we refer to as current associates and preferred customers. New pack sales and the receipt of new associate fees in connection with new positions in our network are leading indicators for the long-term success of our business. New associate or preferred customer positions are created in our network when our associate fees are paid, or packspaid and/or products are purchased for the first time under a new account. We review and analyze net sales by geographical location and by packs and products on a consolidated basis. Each of our subsidiaries sells similar products and exhibits similar economic characteristics, such as selling prices and gross margins.
We generatedincurred an operating loss of $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to operating income of $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to an operating loss of $1.0 million for the same period last year. Our 2025 operating income, on a Constant dollar basis (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures, below), was $0.1 million. Our 2024 operating income, on a Constant dollar basis (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures, below), was $2.2 million.
Net loss was $15.2 million, or $8.00 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to net income of $2.5 million, or $1.32 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Deferred Tax Asset (DTA) and Deferred Tax Liability (DTL) Recent Developments
The reported net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025, was significantly impacted by non-cash income tax charges totaling approximately $12.3 million, of which $11.5 million relates to deferred income tax expense. These charges are balance sheet adjustments and do not reflect operating cash outflows.
Long-Term Deferred Tax Assets — $1.7 Million
During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company recorded an incremental allowance against a portion of its long-term deferred tax assets (DTA). The total amount of the incremental allowance recorded of approximately $1.7 million was charged to income tax expense. The incremental allowance was driven by a change in expected earnings mix across jurisdictions and decreased domestic earnings, which created significant uncertainty regarding the future realization of these deferred tax benefits. As of December 31, 2025, gross deferred tax assets were $11.1 million, against which the Company maintained a valuation allowance of $9.7 million, resulting in net deferred tax assets of $1.4 million, compared to a net deferred tax asset of $3.2 million as of December 31, 2024.
The Company's effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025, was 426.6%, compared to 33.4% for the same period in 2024. The significant change in effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the valuation allowance recorded on deferred tax assets, driven by changes in the expected earnings mix between domestic and foreign jurisdictions and the relative impact of these items on decreased earnings and recognition of deferred tax liability on unremitted foreign earnings.
Recognition of Deferred Tax Liability on Unremitted Foreign Earnings — $9.7 Million (ASC 740-30)
The most significant non-cash tax charge for the year ended December 31, 2025, relates to the recognition of a deferred tax liability (DTL) of approximately $9.7 million under ASC 740-30, associated with the estimated tax cost of unremitted earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries. The DTL computation was performed across multiple foreign jurisdictions — including Japan, Republic of Korea, Denmark, Sweden, Ukraine, and Hong Kong — applying applicable blended tax rates and withholding rates to accumulated unremitted retained earnings.
The combined DTA allowance adjustment and DTL recorded resulted in an additional $11.5 million charge to deferred tax expense, bringing the total net deferred tax position from a net deferred tax asset of $1.8 million at December 31, 2024, to a net deferred tax liability of $9.7 million at December 31, 2025.
Management notes that the DTL recorded as of December 31,2025, reflects the Company's current assessment of the provision under ASC 740-30 with respect to undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and does not represent a current cash tax obligation. The Company continues to evaluate available planning strategies and structural options to mitigate the long-term impact of its tax structure, including those related to intercompany balances and applicable tax treaties across its international subsidiary network.
On a consolidated basis, the strength of the U.S. dollar against the Korean Won during 2024, provided a foreign currency gain of $2.6 million in other income. This resulted in net income of $2.5 million, or $1.32 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to a net loss of $2.2 million, or $1.20 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2023.
To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), the table below summarizes operating results that have been adjusted to exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, including changes in: Net Sales, Gross Profit, and Income (Loss) Income from Operations. We refer to these adjusted financial measures as Constant dollar items, which are Non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these measures provide investors an additional perspective on trends and our operating results. To exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars in the current year, we calculate current year results at a constant exchange rate utilizing the prior year’s rate. Currency impact is determined as the difference between the actual GAAP results and the recalculated results for the current year at the constant dollar rates At December 31, 2024, our net sales declined $11.4 million, or 8.6% on a Constant dollar basis (see reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in the table below); unfavorable foreign exchange caused a $2.7 million decrease in GAAP net sales as compared to the same period in 2023.rates.
At December 31, 2025, our net sales declined $8.0 million, or 6.8% on a Constant dollar basis (see reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in the table below); unfavorable foreign exchange caused a $1.9 million decrease in GAAP net sales as compared to the same period in 2024.

During 2024,2025, Asia/Pacific sales decreased by $10.4$2.6 million, or 13.1%,3.8%, to $69.0$66.4 million as compared to $79.4$69.0 million for 2023.2024. Foreign currency exchange had the effect of decreasing revenue in 20242025 by $2.7$1.8 million, as compared to the same period in 2023.2024. The currency impact is primarily due to the weakening of the Korean Won and Japanese Yen.Won. In addition, net sales in the Asia/Pacific region was negatively impacted by a 4.5%13.9% decrease in the number of active independent associates and preferred customers, which was partially offset by a 17.0% increase in revenue per active independent associate and preferred customer.

This decrease was primarily due to a 6.9%3.8% decrease in the number of active independent associates and preferred customers, which was partially offset by a 0.9%0.4% increase in revenue per active independent associate and preferred customer. Foreign currency exchange had the effect of increasing revenue by $0.1$0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, as compared to the same period in 2023.2024. The currency impact is primarily due to the strengthening of the South African Rand and British Pound.Rand.

General Liquidity and CashGoing FlowsConcern
In accordance with ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern, management evaluated whether conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these financial statements are issued.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $6.2 million and working capital of $1.8 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $11.4 million and working capital of $5.2 million as of December 31, 2024. Cash and cash equivalents were $7.7 million and working capital was $1.9 million as of December 31, 2023. Management has considered these historical liquidity levels and trends, including fluctuations in working capital and cash balances, in evaluating the Company’s ability to meet its future obligations.
Management identified the following conditions that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern:
To address these conditions, management has implemented and/or plans to implement the following actions:
Additional Cost-Cutting measures effective March 31, 2026
Subsequent to December 31, 2025, and prior to the issuance of these financial statements, the Company implemented the following additional measures effective March 31, 2026:
Management has prepared cash flow projections that incorporate these plans, as well as historical liquidity trends, and reflect its best estimates of future operating performance and liquidity needs. While management plans to take appropriate actions to increase its liquidity, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts, and there can be no assurance that, assuming the Company is able to strengthen its cash position, it will achieve sufficient revenue or profitable operations to continue as a going concern.
In addition, while the Company continues to closely monitor the results of mitigating these plans, it is evaluating other options for external capital injection.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Short Term Liquidity
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $11.4 million and $7.7 million, respectively. We believe our existing liquidity and cash flows from operations are adequate to fund our normal expected future business operations for the next twelve months.
On April 23, 2024, the Company entered into unsecured Loan and Promissory Note agreements with three related parties, who are members of the Company’s Board of Directors, and who are current stockholders of the Company, in an aggregate principal amount of $3.6 million (see Note 10, Notes Payable). The purpose of the borrowing was to provide funds to the Company for general working capital needs, including payment to vendors, expansion of the Company’s non-US operations, technology investment primarily for improving the customer ordering process and software updates to improve visibility of sales associate activity.

The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding of our consolidated financial position and results of operations for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025 and should be read in conjunction with Item 1 “Financial Statements” in Part I of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and Item 1A “Risk Factors” in Part I of our 2025 Annual Report. Unless stated otherwise, all financial information presented below, throughout this report, and in the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes includes Mannatech and all of our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, we disclose certain adjusted financial measures which we refer to as Constant dollar (“Constant dollar”) measures, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section herein for a description of how such Constant dollar measures are determined.
We sell our products principally through network marketing distribution channels via our active associates (“independent associate” or “associates” or “distributors”) and to our “preferred customers,” which we believe is the most cost-effective way to introduce our products and communicate information about our business to the global marketplace quickly and effectively. Network marketing minimizes upfront costs, as compared to conventional marketing methods, and allows us to be more responsive to the ever-changing overall market conditions, as well as continue to research and develop high quality products and focus on controlled successful international expansion. We believe the network marketing channel also allows us to effectively communicate the potential benefits and unique properties of our proprietary products to our consumers. In addition, network marketing provides our associates with an avenue to supplement their income by building their own business centered on our business philosophies and unique products. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had approximately 111,000116,000 active associates and preferred customer positions held by individuals that purchased our products and/or paid associate fees during the last twelve months. At the time of purchase, a customer may choose to sign up as a “preferred customer” to receive the same pricing on our products as our associates and to receive emails about our products and promotions. Preferred customers do not participate in the Company’s compensation plan.
The Company also operates a non-direct selling business in mainland China. In 2016, we formed our China subsidiary, Meitai Daily Necessities & Health Products Co., Ltd. (“Meitai”). Unlike Mannatech’s business operations in other markets, Meitai operates under a cross-border e-commerce model, where consumers in China can buy Mannatech products manufactured overseas via Meitai’s website. Currently, Meitai is not a direct selling company in ChinaChina, nor can it operate under a multi-level marketing model in China. Products purchased on Meitai’s website are for personal use and not for resale. Meitai offers a rewards program to incentivize existing customers to refer other customers to purchase products from Meitai’s website. Customs regulations in China include purchase limits to ensure that purchased products are for personal consumption.

To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, we disclose operating results that have been adjusted to exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, including changes in: Net Sales, Gross Profit, and Income (Loss) from Operations. We refer to these adjusted financial measures as Constant dollar items, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these measures provide investors an additional perspective on trends and our operating results. To exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars in the current year, we calculate current year results at a constant exchange rate utilizing the prior year’s rate. Currency impact is determined as the difference between the actual GAAP results and the recalculated results for the current year at the Constant dollar rates.
