Today Nu Skin announced record second-quarter results with revenue of $682.9 million, a 15 percent increase over the prior-year period. 

“We are extremely pleased with second-quarter results that reflect the strong momentum of the business,” said Truman Hunt, president and chief executive officer. “We are particularly pleased with these results given the record regional ageLOC product launches in the prior-year period. Additionally, we generated continued growth of both our consumer and sales leader base, reflected in 32 percent growth in actives and 23 percent growth in sales leaders. Overall, we saw healthy trends throughout the global business, particularly in the Greater China, North Asia and Americas regions.”

“Sales force enthusiasm for the introduction of [Nu Skin's] ageLOC TR90 weight management system bodes well for a strong second half of the year. We plan to begin the limited-time offer of ageLOC TR90 in September and believe this new product provides an ideal vehicle for us to increase our presence in the growing weight management category.”
