• Total active accounts fell 5.0 percent from the previous quarter but rose 1.2 percent sequentially to 170,000. A 13.7 percent drop in distributors was largely offset by a 0.9 percent gain in consumers, resulting in a year-over-year fall.

• Adjusted profits per diluted share were $0.31, up 10.7% from $0.28 the year before and up 55.0 percent sequentially.
Unless otherwise stated, all comparisons are year over year and compare the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.
Fiscal Year 2021 Summary:
• Revenue fell 5.5 percent to $220.2 million,

“As we continued to focus on our key strategy for achieving long-term growth and operational improvement, fourth-quarter sales were in line with our forecasts and earnings were slightly ahead. Despite an 8% drop in net sales, adjusted profits per share grew by 11%,” says the company.
LifeVantage’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Steve Fife, said
“The sequential increase in the number of consumers was very promising, and it marked the first upward inflection in the previous year. Our efforts to enhance active account growth through distributor enrollment and retention are gaining momentum, and we anticipate seeing more progress in the coming quarters.
Consumers continue to place a premium on health and wellbeing, which we believe gives LifeVantage a compelling long-term growth potential based on our proven products, solid balance sheet, and highly devoted management team.”
