Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Certain Risks
This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including any projections of earnings, revenue or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new products; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements of belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding future financial results, long-term value creation goals, productivity, raw material prices and related costs, supply chain, asset impairment, litigation, sustainability and environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) efforts, compliance with current and proposed international laws and regulations, the impact of COVID-19, or other pandemics, or geopolitical tensions, conflicts, or wars on our operations. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “believe,” “project,” “estimate,” “expect,” “strategy,” “future,” “likely,” “may,” “should,” “will” and similar references to future periods. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely unduly on forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those we project or assume in our forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and to inherent risks and uncertainties, such as those disclosed or incorporated by reference in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Any forward-looking statement made by us in this report is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments, the occurrence of unanticipated events or otherwise. Among the important factors that could cause our actual results, performance and achievements to differ materially from estimates or projections contained in our forward-looking statements in this report are the following:
•Our dependence upon the direct selling business model to distribute our products and the activities of our independent Associates;
•Extensive regulation of our business model and uncertainties relating to the interpretation and enforcement of applicable laws and regulations governing direct selling and anti-pyramiding in the United States, China and other markets where we have operations;
•The operation and expansion of our business in China through our subsidiary, BabyCare Holdings, Ltd. (“BabyCare”), including risks related to (i) operating in China in general, (ii) engaging in direct selling in China, (iii) BabyCare’s business model in China, (iv) new and expanded data privacy and security laws and regulations in China, and (v) changes in the Chinese economy, marketplace or consumer environment;
•Effects of changes to our Compensation Plan;
•Product liability claims, litigation or other liability associated with our products or the manufacturing of our products by us or third parties;
•Challenges associated with our planned expansion into new international markets, delays in commencement of sales or product offerings in such markets, delays in compliance with local marketing or other regulatory requirements, or changes in target markets;
•Macroeconomic conditions and other factors, including inflationary pressures, slower economic growth or recession, general conditions affecting consumer spending or discretionary income, or disruptions to our supply chain;
1
•Political events, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics or other health crises including, and in addition to, COVID-19, or other events that may negatively affect economic conditions, consumer spending or consumer behavior;
•Changes in the legal and regulatory environment including environmental, health and safety regulations, data security and privacy, and trade policies and tariffs, the impact of customs, duties, taxation, and transfer pricing regulations, as well as regulations governing distinctions between and our responsibilities to employees and independent contractors;
•Geopolitical tensions or conflicts, including impacts from the conflicts involving Russia and Ukraine, and Israel and Palestine, deterioration in foreign relations, as well as disputes or tensions among other countries around the world in general or among the United States, China, and other countries;
•Volatile fluctuation in the value of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar;
•Noncompliance by us or our Associates with any data privacy or security laws or any security breach by us or a third party involving the misappropriation, loss, destruction or other unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information;
•Shortages of raw materials, disruptions in the business of our contract manufacturers, significant price increases of key raw materials, and other disruptions to our supply chain;
•Our continued compliance with debt covenants in our Credit Facility;
•Litigation, tax, and legal compliance risk and costs, especially if materially different from the amount we expect to incur or have accrued for, and any disruptions caused by the same;
•Information technology system failures, data security breaches, data security and privacy compliance, network disruptions, and cybersecurity attacks; and
•Acquisition, divestiture, and investment-related risks, including risks associated with past or future acquisitions.
Unless otherwise indicated or otherwise required by the context, the terms “we,” “our,” “it,” “its,” “Company,” and “USANA” refer to USANA Health Sciences, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The standard is intended to provide financial statement users with more disaggregated expense information about a public entity’s reportable segments. ASU 2023-07 requires incremental disclosures related to a public entity’s reportable segments including allowing the disclosure of multiple measures of segment profit or loss, requiring the disclosure of significant segment expenses, and requiring the qualitative disclosure of other segment items. ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and should be adopted retrospectively unless impracticable. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact adoption of the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact adoption of the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
No other recent accounting pronouncements had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE B – FAIR VALUE MEASURES
The Company measures, at fair value, certain of its financial and non-financial assets and liabilities by using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, essentially an exit price, based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
•Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.
•Level 2 inputs are from other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
•Level 3 inputs are unobservable and are used to measure fair value in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

However, if an impairment charge is required, a non-financial asset would be written down to fair value. As of June 29, 2024 and December 30, 2023, none
As of June 29, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents and restricted cash. The recorded values of cash equivalents and restricted cash approximate their fair values, based on their short-term nature.

As of June 29, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the carrying amount of equity securities without readily determinable fair values was $20,000
NOTE E – REVENUE AND CONTRACT LIABILITIES
Revenue is recognized when, or as, control of a promised product or service transfers to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring those products or services. A majority of the Company’s sales are for products sold at a point in time and shipped to customers, for which control is transferred as goods are delivered to the third-party carrier for shipment. The Company receives payment, primarily via credit card, for the sale of products at the time customers place orders and payment is required prior to shipment. Contract liabilities, which are recorded within the “Other current liabilities” line item in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily relate to deferred revenue for product sales for customer payments received in advance of shipment, for outstanding material rights under the initial order program, and for services where control is transferred over time as services are delivered.
Other revenue includes fees, which are paid by the customer at the beginning of the service period, for access to online customer service applications and annual account renewal fees for Associates, for which control is transferred over time as services are delivered and are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective contracts.

NOTE F – LINE OF CREDIT
On August 25, 2020, the Company as borrower, and certain of its material subsidiaries as guarantors, entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”) as Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer, and the other lenders party thereto. On August 10, 2022, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Restated Credit Agreement"), which replaces the Eurodollar Rate, and LIBOR terms and provisions with the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index rate ("BSBY").
The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit limit for loans to the Company up to $75,000 (the “Credit Facility”). In addition, at the option of the Company, and subject to certain conditions, the Company may request to increase the aggregate commitment under the Credit Facility up to an additional $200,000 .

NOTE F – LINE OF CREDIT - CONTINUED
Interest on revolving borrowings under the Credit Facility is computed at BSBY, adjusted by features specified in the Credit Agreement. The covenants require the Company’s rolling four-quarter consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to be $100,000 or greater and its ratio of consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA to be equal to or less than 2.0 to 1.0 at the end of each quarter. The Credit Agreement does not include any restrictions on the payment of cash dividends or share repurchases by the Company. Consolidated EBITDA and consolidated funded debt are non-GAAP terms.
The Company will be required to pay any balance on this Credit Facility in full at the time of maturity in August 2025.
The Company maintains local lines of credit across different markets to secure sufficient working capital. As of June 29, 2024, there was no balance on the local lines of credit. As of December 30, 2023, the balance on the local lines of credit was $786 .
NOTE G – CONTINGENCIES
The Company is involved in various lawsuits, claims, and other legal matters from time to time that arise in the ordinary course of conducting business, including matters involving its products, intellectual property, supplier relationships, distributors, competitor relationships, employees and other matters. The Company records a liability when a particular contingency is probable and estimable. The Company faces contingencies that are reasonably possible to occur; however, they cannot currently be estimated. While complete assurance cannot be given as to the outcome of these proceedings, management does not currently believe that any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations. It is reasonably possible that a change in the contingencies could result in a change in the amount recorded by the Company in the future.
NOTE H – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s risk management strategy includes the select use of derivative instruments to reduce the effects of volatility in foreign currency exchange exposure on operating results and cash flows. In accordance with the Company’s risk management policies, the Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at their respective fair values. When the Company becomes a party to a derivative instrument and intends to apply hedge accounting, the Company formally documents the hedge relationship and the risk management objective for undertaking the hedge, the nature of risk being hedged, and the hedged transaction, which includes designating the instrument for financial reporting purposes as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge, or a net investment hedge. The Company also documents how the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively, and a description of the method used to measure ineffectiveness.
The Company periodically uses derivative instruments to hedge the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars. Initially, the Company records derivative assets on a gross basis in its condensed consolidated balance sheets. Subsequently the fair value of derivatives is measured for each reporting period. The effective portion of gains and losses attributable to these net investment hedges is recorded to foreign currency translation adjustment (“FCTA”) within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) to offset the change in the carrying value of the net investment being hedged and will subsequently be reclassified to net earnings in the period in which the investment in the subsidiary is either sold or substantially liquidated.
During the six months ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023, the Company entered into and settled European options designated as net investment hedges with notional amounts of $77,345 and $81,343 , respectively. For the three and six months ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023, the Company realized gains of $255 2,504
As of June 29, 2024, there were no derivatives outstanding for which the Company has applied hedge accounting.

NOTE I – COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for each period. Shares that have been repurchased and retired during the periods specified below have been included in the calculation of the number of weighted-average shares that are outstanding for the calculation of basic EPS based on the time they were outstanding in any period. Diluted EPS is based on shares that are outstanding (computed under basic EPS) and on potentially dilutive shares. Shares that are included in the diluted EPS calculations under the treasury stock method include equity awards that are in-the-money but have not yet been exercised.
The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to calculate basic EPS and diluted EPS for the periods indicated:

There were no 194 shares for $9,483 , inclusive of accrued excise tax of $39 . There were no shares repurchased during the six months ended July 1, 2023.
The excess of the repurchase price over par value is allocated between additional paid-in capital and retained earnings on a pro-rata basis. The purchase of shares under this plan reduces the number of shares outstanding in the above calculations.

NOTE J – SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company primarily operates as a global direct-selling nutrition, personal health and wellness company that develops and manufactures high quality, science-based nutritional, and personal care products.
The Company’s operating segments are identified according to how business activities are managed and evaluated by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), our CEO. The CODM manages the business, allocates resources, makes operating decisions, and evaluates performance for a geographic region or market based on net sales. The Company aggregates its direct-selling operating segments (“Direct-selling”) into one reportable segment, as management believes that the Company’s Direct-selling segments exhibit similar long-term financial performance and have similar economic characteristics. The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using asset information, accordingly, the Company does not report asset information by segment.
The Company has operating segments, resulting from acquisitions, that are not material to the Company’s net sales. These operating segments are included as a component of “All other” and are included for purposes of reconciliation of net sales to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is designed to provide an understanding of USANA’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows by reviewing certain key indicators and measures of performance.
The MD&A is presented in six sections as follows:
•Overview
•Products
•Customers
•Non-GAAP Financial Measures
•Results of Operations
•Liquidity and Capital Resources
This discussion and analysis from management's perspective should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto that are contained in this quarterly report, as well as Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”), filed with the SEC on February 27, 2024, and our other filings, including the Current Reports on Form 8-K, that have been filed with the SEC through the date of this report. Forward-looking statements in Part I, Item 2 may involve risks and uncertainties that could cause results to differ materially from those projected (refer to the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Certain Risks” on page 1 and the risk factors provided in Part II, Item 1A for discussion of these risks and uncertainties).
Overview
We develop and manufacture high quality, science-based nutritional and personal care and skincare products that are distributed internationally primarily through direct selling. We use this distribution method because we believe it is more conducive to meeting our vision as a company, which is to improve the overall health and nutrition of individuals and families around the world. Our customer base is primarily comprised of two types of customers: “Associates” and “Preferred Customers,” referred to together as “active Customers.” Our Associates also sell our products to retail customers. Associates share in our company vision by acting as independent distributors of our products in addition to purchasing our products for their personal use. In 2023, we launched our Affiliate program in the United States, Canada, and Mexico and are evaluating introducing the program in other markets. This program offers another sales and compensation opportunity to individuals who are interested in selling USANA products. Affiliates are discussed and reported in the report as part of our Associates. Preferred Customers purchase our products strictly for personal use and are not permitted to resell or to distribute the products. We only count as active Customers those Associates and Preferred Customers who have purchased from us at any time during the most recent three-month period. As of June 29, 2024, we had approximately 468,000 active Customers worldwide.
We have operations in multiple markets, with sales and expenses being generated and incurred in multiple currencies. Our reported U.S. dollar sales and earnings can be significantly affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates. In general, our operating results are affected positively by a weakening of the U.S. dollar and negatively by a strengthening of the U.S. dollar. During the six months ended June 29, 2024, net sales outside of the United States represented 90.1% of consolidated net sales. In our net sales discussions that follow, we approximate the impact of currency fluctuations on net sales by translating current year sales at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparable periods of the prior year.

Products
The following table summarizes the approximate percentage of total product revenue for our Direct-selling segment that has been contributed by our major product lines and our top-selling products for the current and prior-year periods as indicated:

(1)Represents a product line consisting of multiple products, as opposed to the actual USANA® Essentials / CellSentials product.
(2)Includes our Active Nutrition line.
Customers
Because we sell our products to a customer base of independent Associates and Preferred Customers, we increase our sales by increasing the number of our active Customers, the amount they spend on average, or both. Our primary focus continues to be increasing the number of active Customers. We believe this focus is consistent with our vision of improving the overall health and nutrition of individuals and families around the world. Sales to Associates accounted for approximately 50% of Direct-selling segment sales during the six months ended June 29, 2024, with the remainder of our sales generated from Preferred Customers. Increases or decreases in product sales are typically the result of variations in the volume of product sold relating to fluctuations in the number of active Customers purchasing our products. The number of active Associates and Preferred Customers is, therefore, used by management as a key non-financial indicator to evaluate our operational performance.
The table below summarizes the changes in our active Customer base by geographic region, rounded to the nearest thousand as of the dates indicated:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We believe that presentation of certain non-GAAP financial information is meaningful and useful in understanding the activities and business metrics of our operations. Management believes these measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our business that, when viewed with our U.S. GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. This non-GAAP financial information may be determined or calculated differently by other companies, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes. We provide such non-GAAP financial information for informational purposes only. Readers should consider the information in addition but not instead of or superior to, our Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, accompanying this report.
In analyzing business trends and performance, management uses “constant currency” net sales, “local currency” net sales, and other currency-related financial information terms to discuss our financial results in a way we believe is helpful in understanding the impact of fluctuations in foreign-currency exchange rates and facilitating period-to-period comparisons of results of operations and providing investors an additional perspective on trends and underlying business results. Changes in our reported revenue and profits in this report include the impacts of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. As additional information to the reader, we provide constant currency assessments in the tables and the narrative information in this MD&A to remove or quantify the impact of the fluctuation in foreign exchange rates and utilize constant currency results in our analysis of performance. Our constant currency financial results are calculated by translating the current period’s financial results at the same average exchange rates in effect during the applicable prior-year period and then comparing this amount to the prior-year period’s financial results.
Results of Operations
Summary of Financial Results
Net sales for the second quarter of 2024 decreased 10.6% to $212.9 million, a decrease of $25.3 million, compared with the prior-year quarter. The decrease in net sales was primarily the result of a decrease in active Customers and a decrease in average spend per customer, partially offset by modest price increases compared to the prior-year quarter. Additionally, unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates negatively impacted net sales by an estimated $5.3 million.
Net earnings for the second quarter of 2024 were $10.4 million, a decrease of 39.7% compared with $17.3 million during the prior-year quarter. The decrease in net earnings was the result of decreased sales and higher relative operating expenses combined with an increase in effective tax rate.

Asia Pacific: The constant currency decline in this region was primarily the result of lower active Customer counts and lower sales per active Customer, partially offset by modest price increases throughout the region. This decline was primarily concentrated in China, South Korea and the Philippines. A local currency net sales decline of 8.3% in China was due to a decrease of 8.3% in average spend per customer, mainly influenced by promotional activity, while active Customers remained consistent with the prior year. A local currency net sales decline of 19.3% in South Korea was primarily due to a 16.3% decrease in active Customers and a 3.5% decrease in average spend per customer. A local currency net sales decline of 28.8% in the Philippines was primarily due to a 18.2% decrease in active Customers and a 13.1% decrease in average spend per customer.
Americas and Europe: The decrease in this region was primarily the result of lower active Customer counts and lower average spend per customer, partially offset by modest price increases. The decrease in constant currency net sales is largely the result of a sales decline in the United States, which had a net sales decline of 10.3% due to a 6.8% decrease in active Customers and a 3.8% decrease in average spend per customer.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased 70 basis points to 81.1% of net sales, down from 81.8% in the prior-year quarter. The decrease can primarily be attributed to unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates and loss of leverage on lower sales, which was partially offset by lower material costs, decreased scrap and freight charges as well as modest price increases.
Associate Incentives
Associate incentives decreased 50 basis points to 42.5% of net sales, down from 43.0% in the prior-year quarter. The relative decrease can primarily be attributed to decreased spending on Associate related incentive trips in certain markets and benefits from modest price changes.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 160 basis points relative to net sales and decreased $3.8 million in absolute terms. The relative increase is largely due to a loss of leverage on lower year-over-year net sales. The lower expense in absolute terms can be primarily attributed to a decrease in spending for meetings and events, advertising, and other professional services.
Income Taxes
The year-to-date effective tax rate increased to 43.0% from the 35.5% reported in the comparable period of 2023 or 37.7% for fiscal 2023. The higher effective tax rate can be attributed to: i) China’s increased relative share of taxable income, ii) a concentration of infrastructure costs in our corporate headquarters, and iii) generally softer operating performance, including the impact of unfavorable exchange rates, in our other markets around the world. The revised year-to-date effective tax rate resulted in a 48.4% rate for the second quarter of 2024.
Diluted Earnings per Share
Diluted EPS decreased 39.3% to $0.54 as compared to $0.89 reported in the prior-year quarter. This decrease can be attributed to lower net earnings.

Asia Pacific: The constant currency decline in this region was primarily the result of a sales decline in Southeast Asia Pacific and North Asia. There were local currency declines in nearly all markets in the Southeast Asia Pacific sub-region, most notably in the Philippines, Australia, and Malaysia, which had local currency net sales declines of 27.5%, 10.4%, and 8.0%, respectively. The decrease in local currency net sales in the Philippines was primarily the result of a 23.4% decrease in active Customers and a 5.7% decrease in average spend per customer. The decrease in local currency net sales in Australia was primarily due to a 12.5% decrease in active Customers, partially offset by a 2.4% increase in average spend per customer. The decrease in local currency net sales in Malaysia was primarily due to a 10.9% decrease in active Customers, partially offset by a 3.6% increase in average spend per customer. The decrease in constant currency net sales in North Asia was primarily concentrated in South Korea, which had a local currency sales decline of 21.8%. The decrease in local currency net sales in South Korea was primarily due to a 16.8% decrease in active Customers and a 5.9% decrease in average spend per customer.
Americas and Europe: There were local currency sales declines in most of the markets in this region. The decrease in constant currency net sales was primarily concentrated in the United States and Canada, which had local currency net sales declines of 13.4%, and 10.3%, respectively. The decrease in net sales in the United States was primarily due to a 5.7% decrease in active Customers and a 8.3% decrease in average spend per customer. The decrease in net sales in Canada was primarily due to a 3.0% decrease in active Customers and a 7.2% decrease in average spend per customer.
Gross Profit
Gross profit remained consistent at 81.1% of net sales for the six months ended June 29, 2024 compared to the six months ended July 1, 2023. While currency exchange rates and a loss of leverage on lower sales continue to be a detriment to the gross profit margin, these were offset by benefits from decreased scrap charges, favorable changes in market and product sales mix, modest price increases, and lower freight expense.
Associate Incentives
Associate incentives decreased 60 basis points to 42.2% of net sales, down from 42.8% for the six months ended July 1, 2023. The relative decrease can primarily be attributed to decreased spend on promotional incentives, as well as modest price increases. These improvements were partially offset by an unfavorable shift in market sales mix.
21
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 150 basis points relative to net sales and decreased $6.4 million in absolute terms. The relative increase can be attributed to leverage lost on lower net sales. The lower expense in absolute terms can be primarily attributed to a decrease in spending for meetings and events, advertising, and other professional services.
Income Taxes
Income taxes increased to 43.0% of pre-tax earnings, up from 35.5% of pre-tax earnings for the six months ended July 1, 2023. The higher effective tax rate can be attributed to: i) China’s increased relative share of taxable income, ii) a concentration of infrastructure costs in our corporate headquarters, and iii) generally softer operating performance, including the impact of unfavorable exchange rates, in our other markets around the world.
Diluted Earnings per Share
Diluted EPS decreased 23.9% to $1.40 as compared to $1.84 reported for the six months ended July 1, 2023. This decrease can be attributed to lower net earnings.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically met our working capital and capital expenditure requirements by using net cash flow from operations and by drawing on our line of credit. Our principal source of liquidity is our operating cash flow. Although we are required to maintain cash deposits with banks in certain of our markets, there are currently no material restrictions on our ability to transfer and remit funds among our international markets. In China, however, our compliance with Chinese accounting and tax regulations promulgated by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) results in transfer and remittance of our profits and dividends from China to the United States on a delayed basis. If SAFE or other Chinese regulators introduce new regulations or change existing regulations which allow foreign investors to remit profits and dividends earned in China to other countries, our ability to remit profits or pay dividends from China to the United States may be limited in the future.
We believe our current liquidity is adequate to meet our cash requirements and sustain our operations through cash flow from operations. Maintaining a capital structure that emphasizes sufficient liquidity and adaptability in the prevailing economic climate is our top priority. We actively assess potential acquisition opportunities and investments in complementary ventures. While we continuously aim to preserve ample liquidity and ensure business continuity amid uncertainties, we also explore initiatives such as stock repurchases. These strategic decisions have the potential to impact our liquidity, enabling us to navigate these challenging times effectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents increased to $332.4 million as of June 29, 2024, from $330.4 million as of December 30, 2023. Cash flow provided by operating activities was $25.7 million partially offset by cash used in financing activities of $13.3 million, cash used in investing activities of $5.6 million, and the unfavorable effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents of $4.8 million.
The table below presents concentrations of cash and cash equivalents by market for the periods indicated:

During the six months ended June 29, 2024, our China subsidiary remitted profits through an annual dividend of $75.8 million to the United States, inclusive of net proceeds from a dividend hedge and net of applicable taxes.
Cash Flows Provided by Operations
As discussed above, our principal source of liquidity comes from our net cash flow from operations.
Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $25.7 million for the first six months of 2024. Net earnings combined with adjustments of non-cash items contributed positively to our net cash flow provided by operating activities, partially offset by cash used to pay accounts payable, accrued associate incentives, and the 2023 annual employee bonus.

Line of Credit
Information with respect to our line of credit may be found in Note F to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this report.

Summary
We believe our current cash balances, future cash provided by operations, and amounts available under our line of credit will be sufficient to cover our operating and capital needs in the ordinary course of business for the foreseeable future. If we experience an adverse operating environment or unanticipated and unusual capital expenditure requirements, additional financing may be required. No assurance can be given, however, that additional financing, if required, would be available to us at all or on favorable terms. We might also require or seek additional financing for the purpose of expanding into new markets, growing our existing markets, mergers and acquisitions, or for other reasons. Such financing may include the use of debt or the sale of additional equity securities. Any financing which involves the sale of equity securities or instruments that are convertible into equity securities could result in immediate and possibly significant dilution to our existing shareholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
There were no changes during the quarter to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our 2023 Form 10-K. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note A to our Consolidated Financial Statements filed with our 2023 Form 10-K.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We have no material changes to the disclosures on this matter made in our 2023 Form 10-K. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to our market risk disclosures set forth in the section entitled “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in the 2023 Form 10-K.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods that are specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding any required disclosure. In designing and evaluating these disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
23
As of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a- 15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as a result of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting related to information technology general controls (ITGCs) as described in Part II, Item 9A of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”), the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 29, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than with respect to the remediation efforts addressed below, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2024, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weakness
As previously disclosed in Part II, Item 9A of the 2023 Form 10-K, we are implementing measures designed to ensure that the control deficiencies contributing to the material weaknesses are remediated, such that the relevant controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions are ongoing and include:
•Enhancing our IT organization that is responsible for the development, monitoring, and testing of the ITGCs to ensure sufficiency of resources with the appropriate knowledge, experience, and training; and
•Developing a training program addressing ITGCs and related policies, to educate control owners on the principles and requirements of internal control activities, including maintaining adequate evidence of the controls’ operation, and ensuring timely and consistent performance of the controls as designed.
During the first half of 2024, we began the process of developing a detailed remediation plan to address each control deficiency. Additionally, we engaged a third-party consultant with expertise in ITGCs to assist with risk assessment and control design, educating and training ITGC control owners, advising on relevant IT policies, and providing guidance with regard to sufficient control documentation to support the controls’ operation. In the coming quarters, we will continue our efforts to ensure that the control deficiencies contributing to the material weaknesses are remediated. This includes, but is not limited to, reviewing and updating IT policies, analyzing current processes and control documentation, and establishing the appropriate level of responsibility and ownership of ITGCs. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect that the remediation of these material weaknesses will be completed prior to the end of fiscal year 2024.
