“We are reiterating our 2023 guidance with gradual sequential improvements in our business throughout the year despite a challenging global macro environment,” said James Thomas, Nu Skin Interim Chief Financial Officer. “We are managing our cost structure conservatively and are investing in key growth initiatives that support our Nu Vision 2025 strategy. Our annual revenue guidance remains at $2.03 to $2.18 billion, with an approximate 1 to 2 percent foreign currency headwind. We are also reiterating reported EPS of $2.27 to $2.67 and increasing non-GAAP EPS to $2.41 to $2.81, which excludes the first quarter restructuring charge of $9.8 million.
