LifeVantage Corporation – Believe Recent Return to Growth to Be Sustainable

By Water Tower Research

  • Growth resumed for both sales and EPS in 4QFY23, the first time in 16 quarters that both grew simultaneously.
  • While sales growth flattened out a bit in the 1QFY24 (September), top-line momentum continued in the US, driven by the success of the LV360 initiatives, and company-wide EBITDA grew 41.1%, driven by a 230- basis-point improvement in margins.
  • The resumption of growth could be sustainable, driven by a wide range of company-specific initiatives, most importantly its LV360 initiatives, including a sweeping overhaul of its consultant compensation plan, and robust new product activity.
