FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NATURE’S SUNSHINE PRODUCTS REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTS

· Third quarter net sales revenue growth of 1.3 percent (2.4 percent in local currency)

· Significant investment spending, resulting in lower operating income margin

· Board of Directors approved a $0.10 per share regular quarterly dividend

· Repurchased 107,722 shares of common stock

LEHI, Utah, November 6, 2013 — Nature’s Sunshine Products, Inc. (NASDAQ:NATR), a leading natural health and wellness company engaged in the manufacture and direct selling of nutritional and personal care products, today reported its consolidated financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013 and declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share.

“We’re pleased with our third quarter results which reflect continued progress across both our NSP and Synergy businesses,” commented Gregory L. Probert, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “In addition to Synergy’s record sales quarter and NSP Russia, Central and Eastern Europe’s fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year sales growth, we experienced double digit growth in Mexico.”

“These improvements are the early result of our incremental investments in sales and marketing personnel, R&D and new product development, distributor training, sales incentive programs and information technology. These investments amounted to $1.3 million of additional SG&A expense in the third quarter, the majority of which is recurring and will negatively impact our near-term operating income margin. However, these essential investments position us to drive sales growth in all of our markets and to restore our operating income margin to double digits in 2015.”

“In addition, we are in the early stages of a $40 million Oracle ERP implementation that will provide us with a single integrated software solution and greatly enhance our ability to better integrate our people, process and business systems in all of our markets around the world. This investment will allow us to streamline many of our processes, provide better data and visibility into our business, facilitate delivering products to market faster and more efficiently, as well as to better serve our Managers, Distributors and customers. We anticipate completion of this project by mid-2016.

Mr. Probert continued, “The $0.10 quarterly cash dividend and our ongoing share repurchase program demonstrate our confidence in the Company’s growth prospects and strong cash flow generation, and our commitment to return excess capital to shareholders.”

For the Third Quarter of 2013:

· Net sales revenue increased 1.3 percent to $92.5 million, compared to $91.2 million in the third quarter of 2012. In local currencies, net sales revenue increased by 2.4 percent.

· Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 7.4 percent to $28.2 million, compared with $26.2 million in the third quarter of 2012. The increase was primarily due to the Company’s incremental investment in sales, marketing, science and product development personnel and programs to stimulate sales growth and drive profitability.

· Operating income decreased 22.9 percent to $6.7 million, compared to $8.7 million in the third quarter of 2012. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.9 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to investments in growth initiatives.

· Adjusted EBITDA, defined here as net income before taxes, depreciation, amortization and other income, adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense, decreased 18.4 percent to $8.5 million, compared to $10.4 million in the third quarter of 2012.

· Net income was $4.9 million, or $0.29 per diluted common share, compared to $6.4 million, or $0.40 per diluted common share in the third quarter of 2012.

· Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2013 were $76.6 million, compared to $79.2 million as of December 31, 2012, which reflects $24.0 million paid in a special one-time dividend, $4.8 million paid in regular quarterly dividends, and $1.9 million used to repurchase shares in the first nine months of the year.

· Shareholders’ equity as of September 30, 2013 was $104.8 million, compared to $115.6 million as of December 31, 2012. Including dividends paid in the first nine months of the year, shareholders’ equity increased by 15.6 percent.

· Active Managers worldwide were 16,900 and active Distributors and customers worldwide were 324,900 as of September 30, 2013 compared to 16,900 and 325,900, respectively in the third quarter of 2012. New manager were flat with the prior year, as were new Distributor and customer recruiting.

NSP Americas, Asia Pacific and Europe Results for the Third Quarter of 2013:

· Net sales revenue decreased 2.4 percent to $50.6 million, compared to $51.8 million in the third quarter of 2012. In local currencies, net sales revenue decreased by 0.7 percent compared to the third quarter of 2012. Higher net sales in Mexico and South America were more than offset by lower net sales in the United States and Japan. In Mexico, net sales increased year-over-year for the second consecutive quarter, up 11.1

percent from the third quarter of 2012. In the United States, net sales declined 2.2 percent year-over-year.

· Contribution margin, defined as net sales revenue less cost of sales and volume incentive expense, was $20.0 million, compared to $20.5 million in the third quarter of 2012, primarily as a result of lower net sales revenue.

· Active Managers within the segment totaled approximately 8,500 and active Distributors and customers within the segment were approximately 153,200 as of September 30, 2013, and compared to 8,800 and 159,600, respectively, as of September 30, 2012. New Manager were down 10.0 percent as compared to the prior year and new Distributor and Customer recruits were down 8.3 percent.

NSP Russia, Central and Eastern Europe Results for the Third Quarter of 2013:

· Net sales revenue increased 10.5 percent to $14.6 million, compared to $13.2 million in the third quarter of 2012. Net sales revenue increased year-over-year for the fourth consecutive quarter as a result of improved recruiting, Distributor leadership engagement, Distributor recognition, promotion and training, and the enhanced focus afforded by the corporate organizational realignment during 2012. In addition, we launched a new weight management program at our annual regional convention in September.

· Contribution margin increased 7.3 percent to $5.4 million, compared to $5.0 million in the third quarter of 2012, primarily as a result of higher net sales revenue.

· Active Managers within the segment were approximately 5,200 and active Distributors and customers within the segment were approximately 119,400 as of September 30, 2013, and compared to 5,000 and 112,900, respectively as of September 30, 2012.

Synergy WorldWide Results for the Third Quarter of 2013:

· Net sales revenue increased 4.0 percent to $27.3 million, compared to $26.3 million in the third quarter of 2012. This marks the highest quarterly sales in the segment’s history. In local currencies, net sales revenue increased by 4.6 percent compared to the third quarter of 2012 driven by increased sales in South Korea, Scandinavia and Central Europe, partially offset by declines in North America. The increase in net sales revenue is primarily a result of re-engaged leadership, strong execution, and momentum stemming from the Company’s global summit and pre-launch of the SLMsmart weight management line in South Korea. This program will be rolled out to other markets around the world throughout 2014.

· Contribution margin increased 1.3 percent to $9.5 million, compared to $9.4 million in the third quarter of 2012, primarily as a result of increased net sales revenue.

· Active Managers within the segment were approximately 3,200 and active Distributors and customers within the segment were approximately 52,300 as of September 30, 2013, and compared to 3,100 and 53,400, respectively as of September

30, 2012. New Managers increased 20.0 percent over prior year, while Distributor and customer recruiting decreased 5.6 percent over prior year.

Effective Income Tax Rate

The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2013 was 24.7 percent compared to 25.0 percent in the third quarter of 2012. The current quarter’s effective tax rate was below the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35.0 percent which was primarily attributable to foreign tax credit benefits, net favorable foreign items related to foreign tax rate differences, the impact of unremitted earnings, and adjustments to foreign valuation allowances, offset by an increase in tax liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions.

Quarterly Cash Dividend and Ongoing Share Repurchase Program

The Company’s Board of Directors approved its regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share payable on November 29, 2013 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 18, 2013.

On August 8, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized a $10 million share repurchase program to be implemented over two years. Such purchases may be made in the open market, through block trades, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be determined based on the Company’s evaluation of market conditions and other factors and the program may be discontinued or suspended at any time.

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company repurchased 107,722 shares of its common stock under the share repurchase program for $1.9 million. At September 30, 2013, the remaining balance available for repurchases under the program was $8.1 million.

The regular quarterly dividend, in addition to the special one-time dividend that was announced and paid in August 2013, and the on-going share repurchase program are due to the Company’s strong cash flow, healthy cash balance of $76.6 million, the Board’s commitment to return capital to shareholders and its confidence in the Company’s long-term growth prospects.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has included information which has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), such as information concerning adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income because management utilizes this information in the evaluation of its operations and believes that these measures are a useful indicator of the Company’s ability to fund its business. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, U.S. GAAP net income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance. Moreover, these non-GAAP financial measures, as presented by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Other companies may use the same or similarly named measures, but exclude different items, which may not provide investors with a comparable view of our performance in relation to other companies. The Company has

included a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to reported earnings under GAAP in the attached financial tables.
