Nutrisystem, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTRI), a leading provider
of health and wellness and weight management products and
services including Nutrisystem® and South Beach Diet® brands, today
reported financial results for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 2018.
Dawn Zier, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “I’m
pleased we delivered year-over-year growth in the third
quarter and adjusted EBITDA and earnings per share are aligned with
expectations. South Beach growth remains strong and, most
importantly, we see a clear path to return the Nutrisystem brand to
growth in 2019.”
Ms. Zier added, “During the second half of the year we’re
focused on positioning our company for a return to meaningful
growth in 2019. We’re doing this in three primary ways and have
arrived at the proof points that give us confidence that our plans
will deliver that. First, our innovation efforts are centered
around personalized nutrition and flexibility to better engage with
consumers both at the start and throughout their journey to optimal
health. Second, our new creative for 2019 supports our evolving
brand promise, resonates well with consumers, and we’re seeing
early evidence that our creative approach will drive response and
engagement. And finally, we’re actively refining our media
deployment strategy to expand reach, grow digital, and increase
marketing efficiency. We’re excited about our future.”
The following are key financial highlights for the period.
Reconciliations of certain GAAP to non-GAAP measures are provided

program set to expire October 2020. We will continue to utilize our
balance sheet to enhance the long-term value of our company.”

The Company’s fourth quarter and full year 2018 guidance is

year. Reconciliations of certain GAAP to non-GAAP measures are
provided later in this press release.
- Fourth quarter revenue is expected to
be in the range of $129.5 to $134.5 million, net income between
$17.3 and $18.9 million, diluted income per common share between
$0.58 and $0.63, and adjusted EBITDA between $29.4 and $31.4
million.
- Full year 2018 revenue is expected to
be in the range of $691 to $696 million, net income between $62.2
and $63.8 million, diluted income per common share between $2.08

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Within this press release, the Company makes reference to a
non-GAAP financial measure (adjusted EBITDA) which has a directly
comparable GAAP financial measure (net income). EBITDA is defined
as net income excluding interest, income taxes and depreciation and
amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding
non-cash employee compensation expense and transaction costs
related to stockholder cooperation agreement. The Company excludes
non-cash employee compensation expense because it is a non-cash
expense that is not reflective of the ongoing cash expense of the
Company. The Company excludes the transaction costs as the matter
was resolved and is not reflective of the ongoing operations of the
Company. Adjusted EBITDA is provided so that investors have the
same financial data that management uses to assess the Company’s
operating results with the belief that it will assist the
investment community in properly assessing the ongoing performance
of the Company for the periods being reported and future periods.
The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be
considered a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with
GAAP.
