    En MR. Artist, China sales up 89%, hoe zou dat nou komen.........
    [/quote]

    as sales increased and interest expense dropped.

    In Herbalife magazine maken ze elke maand bekend wie er toegetreden zijn(distributeurs)tot de hogere regionen zoals presidents team, millionaire team enz.(qua sales), het zal u niet verbazen als het helemaal volstaat met chinezen.....
    De Macht van de grote getallen noemen ze dat.

    Ik las vorige week(ff wat anders)in een magazine dat een internetsite in china die alles post over snookeren iedere dag 44 miljoen hits heeft!!!!!
    En dat alleen maar omdat er 1 chinese snooker speler in de top 20 v/d wereld speelt, dat zijn toch duizelingwekkende getallen, ik snap nu wel waarom Baidu het zo goed doet..............

    Herbalife 4Q Profit Jumps 29 Percent

    Tuesday February 26,

    Herbalife 4th-Quarter Profit Rises on Double-Digit Sales Growth, Beats Analysts' Estimates

    LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Herbalife Ltd., which sells nutritional supplements and weight loss products, said Tuesday its fourth-quarter profit jumped 29 percent, led by double-digit sales growth in the U.S., Taiwan and Italy.

    The company reported income of $53.8 million, or 77 cents per share, compared with $41.7 million, or 56 cents per share, in the year-ago period.

    On an adjusted basis, excluding the impact of realignment costs and other one-time items, quarterly income grew 24 percent to $55.1 million, or 79 cents per share, from $44.3 million, or 59 cents per share, in the fourth quarter of 2006.

    Results are based on 70 million shares outstanding in the 2007 quarter and 75 million shares outstanding in the prior-year quarter.

    Analysts polled by Thomson Financial, on average, estimated earnings of 73 cents per share on sales of $536.6 million. Analyst estimates typically exclude one-time, unusual items.

    Revenue rose 19 percent to $578.1 million from $487.4 million in the prior-year quarter.

    The company attributed the increase in sales to double-digit growth in several of its top countries, coupled with favorable foreign currency fluctuations. U.S. sales grew 22 percent, while revenue in Taiwan rose 19 percent, Italy 22 percent and China 146 percent.

    The company also said the total number of sales leaders grew 16 percent to 473,846 during the quarter. Sales leaders are qualifying supervisors in 64 countries as well as sales employees in China.

    For the full year, income rose 34 percent to $191.5 million, or $2.63 per share, from $143.1 million, or $1.92 per share, in 2006.

    Revenue grew 14 percent to $2.15 billion from $1.89 billion in the previous year.

    Shares gained 9 cents to close at $43. Shares continued to rise in aftermarket trading, jumping $2.50, or 5.8 percent, to $45.50. In the past 12 months, the stock has traded between $35.30 and $46.04.

    Herbalife Keeps Pace Despite U.S. Economy
    March 13, 2008: 06:54 PM EST

    Mar. 4, 2008 (Investor's Business Daily delivered by Newstex) --

    Among weight-nutrition stocks in the Cosmetics/Personal Care industry group, Herbalife (NYSE:HLF) HLF is No. 1.

    It leads its group in Composite Rating, return on equity, EPS Rating, SMR Rating and Relative Price Strength Rating.

    Its pretax margin has risen five years in a row, reaching 14% in '07.

    The slowing U.S. economy hasn't hurt Herbalife. In January it reported its highest sales month ever, with sales up more than 20% on a year-ago basis. U.S. sales increased in each of the past six quarters.

    Plus, the company isn't dependent on the U.S. economy. About 80% of sales come from outside the U.S. Sales are growing in the triple digits in China, Venezuela and Bolivia.

    The company recently raised guidance, and it has a record of conservative projections. It has beaten estimates for 12 straight quarters.

    The stock is now finishing a cup-shaped base and might be forming a handle. If so, the potential buy point 15uld be 45.10. The general market is in a confirmed rally, but it has come under pressure.

    One risk factor is the dollar. Herbalife has benefited from a weak dollar. A rebound in the dollar would hurt earnings.

    Helaas is er in Nederland niet echt een markt voor Herbalife: een goed produkt, maar Nederlanders zijn te nuchter en het is wat aan de dure kant.
  15. [verwijderd] 20 maart 2008 12:53
    Er is wel een markt voor Herbalife(al heel lang al) alleen is heel NL onder de invloed van Goeroe Sonja.
    Ik denk ook vaak dat nederlanders nuchter zijn maar als je dan kijkt hoe Sonja aanbeden wordt dan vraag ik me af hoe nuchter.........

    Over de prijzen kun je lang twisten maar kun je een prijs zetten op je gezondheid is het stomste wat mensen kunnen doen.
    Iedereen wil geld betalen om de APK van de auto jaarlijks te doen en als er wat stuk is kopen we het nieuw maar hun lichaam verzorgen daar zijn de meeste mensen te beroerd voor en vergeet niet dat je van de meeste lichaamsdelen er maar 1 of 2 hebt(of weet jij een bedrijf dat nieuwe alvleesklieren in de aanbieding heeft).

    Ik heb onderzoeken gelezen dat men verwacht dat in 10 jaar 67% van de kinderen tussen de 6-12 jaar last heeft van "obesity", nou dan lijkt 4 euro per dag uitgeven aan Herbalife produkten opeens heel weinig meer....................

    Nutritional Supplement Maker Fattens As The World Slims Down

    Monday March 24, 5:49 pm ET
    Brad Kelly

    The number of overweight and obese Americans is growing at an alarming rate and shows no sign of slowing down.
    Last year, a nonprofit health organization conducted an obesity survey of all U.S. states comparing data from 2003-05 with statistics from 2004-06. The results were staggering.


    The survey found obesity rates continued to rise in 31 of 50 states in 2006, according to Trust for America's Health. Not one state reported a decline.

    According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, two out of three Americans are overweight, and almost one in five are obese.

    As obesity-related health problems increase, businesses are hunting for profitable weight-loss solutions. Many are finding the answer in Herbalife's (NYSE:HLF - News) "Formula 1" diet shake mix.

    The Los Angeles-based Herbalife is a global, multilevel marketing company that sells weight-control, nutritional and personal care products. Judging by its most recent quarterly results, there is big upside for its weight-management products.

    In the fourth quarter, earnings rose 34% to 79 cents a share ex items. Analysts polled by Thomson Financial had expected 73 cents.

    Sales Increase

    Revenue climbed 19% to $578.1 million, driven by double-digit growth in several of Herbalife's top countries. It was the 16th straight quarter of double-digit growth.

    Full-year revenue increased 14% to $2.2 billion, from $1.89 billion in 2006. Weight-control products accounted for more than 60% of sales.

    Nutritional supplements generated roughly 20% of top-line growth. Personal care and energy and fitness products also gained traction last year, rising 6.7% and 4.3%, respectively.

    "This is a big, globally diverse multilevel seller that suffered some serious setbacks earlier this decade," said Douglas Lane, an analyst at Jefferies & Co. "But they have bounced back."

    About 80% of the company's sales are derived from overseas, and results from last quarter were solid. Taiwan rose 19%, Russia was up 15%, Italy jumped 22% and China leapt 146%.

    The U.S. is the company's largest single market and revenue grew 22% last quarter, based largely on the growth of its Latin markets, says Chief Executive Michael Johnson.

    "Several factors are driving our growth, such as strong products, business opportunity and our growing brand, which is in front of more people than ever before," Johnson said.

    Herbalife's global footprint and distribution base give it a competitive edge. It sells its products in 65 countries and has more than 1.7 million distributors, reflecting an annual increase of 8.6%.

    Johnson says direct selling is a prime opportunity for anyone, whether seeking part-time or full-time income. "It's an industry with low startup costs," he said. "There are really no barriers to entry."

    Like many direct-selling companies, Herbalife generates significant free cash flow with a modest capital requirement, Lane says. It also paid down more than $300 million in debt from 2004 to 2006.

    Herbalife raised its earnings and revenue outlook for 2008. It estimates full-year sales growth of 9% to 11%, while pegging profit at $3.25 to $3.30 a share vs. a prior estimate of $3.17 to $3.23 a share.

    The raised guidance signals that Herbalife has the ability to grow despite a sluggish economy and stiff competition from diet food companies such as Weight Watchers International (NYSE:WTW - News) and privately held Jenny Craig.

    The outlook also shows that the company's move beyond multivitamins into products like meal replacements and appetite suppressants is working, Lane says.

    Herbalife faced a difficult challenge after the untimely death of its charismatic founder Mark Hughes, who died in 2000 from a prescription-drug overdose at age 44.

    It was one of a series of blows the company absorbed earlier this decade. But Herbalife bounced back after it was taken private in 2003 by private equity firms Whitney & Co. and Golden Gate Capital.

    A Johnson-led management team was hired, and in December 2004 the company launched its second public offering in a span of less than 20 years.

    Herbalife developed a five-point 18owth plan. The first part, distributor strategy, centered on three concepts: recruiting, retailing and retention. Thus far, it has been very successful.

    Last year, more than 210,000 new sales leaders joined the company, an increase of 6.6%, while its retention rates were stable at 40%, except in Mexico, Johnson says.

    Mexican Growth

    Herbalife grew too quickly in Mexico without proper infrastructure, and the region overheated from hypergrowth, Lane says.

    With poor distributors and supply-chain problems, the company was forced to retool in the region by launching its nutrition club plan.

    "The clubs have fueled greater interaction between distributor and customer as well as a strong brand campaign," Johnson said.

    While the clubs promote daily consumption of its products, they also create a comfortable social environment where people can gather and learn about nutrition.

    With success in Mexico, the strategy was taken across the border to the U.S. as well as down to Brazil, which has also seen some retrenchment after several years of strong growth.

    "We're optimistic about our future in Mexico, as it remains one of our top markets," Johnson said.

    Herbalife increased education for its distributors in the regions and opened more sales centers to make its products more accessible to its sellers. After significant slowing in the early part of last year, the plan seems to be working.

    The Mexico and Brazil markets had only modest sales declines in the fourth quarter of 1.4% and 2.6%, respectively, which was better than expected, Lane says.

    Today, possessing a global footprint in fast-growing regions might be one of the best ways to offset a U.S. economic downturn. Employers in the U.S. have shed payrolls by 85,000 jobs so far in 2008.

    "We're in an industry that works in good or bad economic times," Johnson said. "In this case, more people might explore working part time or full time to offset a job loss or for additional income."

    The low barriers to entry in this business make it very attractive to those who may not have as much capital as they did a few years back.

    "We're very optimistic about our future," Johnson said. "Last year was our best year yet, and we're just getting started."
