Key Financial Performance
Revenue Revenue for Q1 2026 was $1.3 billion, representing a 5% decrease year-over-year. The decline was attributed to weaker demand in key markets and unfavorable currency exchange rates.
Gross Margin Gross margin was 78.2%, a slight improvement from 77.8% in Q1 2025. This increase was due to cost optimization initiatives and a favorable product mix.
Net Income Net income for the quarter was $85 million, down 12% year-over-year. The decrease was primarily due to higher operating expenses and increased interest costs.
Earnings Per Share (EPS) Earnings per share were $0.75, a 10% decline compared to Q1 2025. This was driven by the same factors affecting net income.
Operating Cash Flow Operating cash flow was $120 million, a 15% increase year-over-year. The improvement was attributed to better working capital management.

Positive2-19
The earnings report shows strong performance in key areas like Adjusted EBITDA, operating cash flow, and debt reduction. Despite some challenges like FX headwinds and regional sales declines in China, the company has demonstrated financial discipline and strategic growth initiatives. The Q&A highlights optimism in future growth, particularly in India, and strategic focus on personalized nutrition. However, lack of detailed guidance for China and minimal contribution from Pro2col slightly temper the outlook. Overall, the positive financial metrics and strategic initiatives are expected to boost the stock price in the short term.
