The President and CEO of Nu Skin, Ryan Napierski, said, “Our third-quarter revenue was softer than anticipated as the delta variant created unexpected disruptions in many of our markets. Unanticipated government restrictions impacted our ability to sell and distribute products, with the largest impact in Mainland China and Southeast Asia, and also disrupted promotional activities such as incentive trips and the performance of local expos in several markets.”
“We are optimistic about our upcoming product launches and the rollout of additional social commerce tools in late 2021 and into next year. We remain confident in our strategy and anticipate annual 2021 revenue to be up modestly year-over-year,” Napierski added.
The company plans to release its financial results for the third quarter on November 3. (See Nu Skin stock chart on TipRanks)
